Introduction to Computational Linguistics
Time: Monday 2pm - 5pm
Venue: Seminar Room, General Linguistics Department, Irinyi Building
This course will introduce students to computational linguistics and natural language processing. During the semester, we will cover the most important research areas of the field such as corpus linguistics, computational morphology, syntax and semantics, as well as applications. Students will have the opportunity to acquire both theoretical and practical knowledge of current issues in computational linguistics through reading assignments and project work.
IMPORTANT!
The class on computational pragmatics will be held on 10 October (Wednesday), 12-13:30 at the Research Group on Artificial Intelligence (same building as usual, 3rd staircase). Let's meet 5 minutes before in the yard.

Nyelvészet az informatikában - informatika a nyelvészetben [Linguistics in Informatics - Informatics in Linguistics]
Time: Wednesday 12pm - 2pm
Venue: Irinyi 221
The course aims at demonstrating how linguistics may contribute to informatics - more specifically, to natural language processing. Furthermore, it will be also shown how informatics may help research in theoretical linguistics. The language of the course is Hungarian.

Korpuszok a nyelvészeti kutatásban [Corpora in Linguistic Research]
Time: Thursday 2pm - 4pm
Venue: Mészöly Gedeon seminar room
The course aims at demonstrating how corpora and linguistic databases may be exploited in linguistic research. Steps to construct corpora and gathering language data from them will be also presented in detail. Each student will be required to prepare his/her own corpus during the semester. The language of the course is Hungarian.

Thematic Training Course on Processing Morphologically Rich Languages
The University of Helsinki and the Research Institute for Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences hosted a one week training course on computational processing of morphologically rich languages, where I gave a lecture on syntax-morphology interface and its relation to Natural Language Processing.
Syntax seminar
This course offers an introduction to English syntax for 2- and 3-year BA students of English. Topics primarily focus on the practical applications of theoretical knowledge acquired at the Syntax lecture hence it is advised to attend the two courses parallelly. During the semester, two written tests should be completed.
