Course content
The course "Fundamentals of Applied Linguistics" is part of Elective Block 1 "Linguistics and Third Language." The course covers the main directions of the field of computational linguistics and its conceptual framework. Students acquire necessary knowledge about language and speech from the perspective of computational linguistics and become familiar with typical research methods and basic algorithms for processing linguistic material. The course explores the theoretical foundations and practical implementations of modern Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems, including automatic translation and text editing systems, speech synthesis and recognition, and dialogue systems. During the classes, students have the opportunity to explore new avenues for applying computer technologies in the study of language and speech phenomena and gain experience in solving practical tasks related to text and audio data processing.
