You got the right idea about the first project. For more information, I can highly recommend the book "Syntactic wordclass tagging" -- there are some pages you can review on Google Books -- otherwise your library may have it. For the second idea, I think you're missing some details. http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Dependency_based_re-ordering This gives some kind of overview. > I'm just about to finish my undergraduate degree (maths, physics, some > computer science); Apertium represents a way to combine my interests > in CS and language processing.

I'm currently travelling, I'll be back tomorrow afternoon (UTC+1) and will be able to answer your questions better. Please come and hang around on IRC. :) Fran ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
