The aim is to enrich standard teaching of computer linguistics and linguistically orientated Czech studies with concrete examples of work in the sphere of primary as well as of applied linguistic research.

Other Czech and foreign institutions will be selected depending on future possibilities.
• The series of lectures will be focused especially on topics form the spheres of theory and practice of corpus and computer processing of language, such as building, tagging and using corpuses, on types of disambiguation, on spelling and grammar checking tools in electronic word processors, on morphological analysis in internet browsers, on analysis and synthesis of spoken language etc.
• Some of the lectures will deal with “non-computers” linguistic topics or with issues of codification etc.
• The structure of the course will. be modified each term, the series of excursion will be partly repeated, following the scheme of spring and autumn terms (hence the distinction between parts 1 and 2; completing part 1 is not a condition for registration of part 2).
