The course is focused on NLP(Natural Language Processing) (TAL, in French)  .

It begins with an introduction to the Linux system; special attention is given to its architecture and to the commands:  ls, more, less, cat, cp, mv, rm, find, locate, cd, mkdir, rmdir, pwd, clear, df, gzip, kill, diff, ln, man, mount, ps, tar, umount, wc.

 Follows a discussion of selected system utilities and freeware tools useful in language processing, especially in lexicography:  sed, awk, vi, grep, tail, head, sort, uniq.

After the course on Linux, a test will take place in order to check students' ability.

Credit: for the Ist term - a positive evaluation of the test.

During the second term, the Unix / NooJ are presented, which are used in treatment of large text corpuses. The students shall learn their architecture (especially lexical modules and local grammars) and the kinds of problems the two systems can solve

Credit: for the IInd term - preparation of one local grammar (in the morphological or syntactic module) and a fragmetary lexicon on the basis of a short demonstration text.  

 In parallel students are informed of the developments in NLP / TAL.
