Computational modelling of language requires a CORPUS, a sample of text. Our research at Leeds University focusses on bootstrapping linguistic knowledge and resources from text; for example: ProPOSEL, a Prosody and Part-Of-Speech English Lexicon Arabic has a challenging script, and complex word-structure and grammar Find key words, concepts, topics.
