>The COURSE in COMPUTATIONAL LEXICOGRAPHY tries to cover a wide range
>of topics and both the theoretical and practical aspects of the field
>so it is addressed to dictionary-makers, terminologists, computational
>linguists, corpus builders, linguistic software developers, electronic
>publishers and linguists in general --- to anyone who is interested in
>language engineering and linguistics.
>
>
>LOCATION

>kilometres from the capital, Budapest in the Great Plain of Hungary,
>near the "Hortobagy" Puszta.
