Research in Linguistics and Computational Linguistics

Linguistic interaction is the main overarching theme for the research in linguistics at FLoV. This entails an interest not only in the systems of conventions that make up particular languages, but also the social practices through which language is used. The major research program at the department is the Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) focuses its research on the application of probabilistic and information theoretic methods to the analysis of natural language.
