The University of Essex has a long tradition of research in computational linguistics / or natural language processing, starting with work on Machine Translation and Parsing in the 1980s, as well as work on formal semantics (e.g., Property Theory). The Language and Computation group has been created to foster such interaction between researchers within the University, and includes staff and students from the Departments of Computers Science and Languages and Linguistics, and from the Data Archive. Areas of research include anaphora resolution, Arabic NLP, Constraint Based Grammar (LFG and HPSG), corpus annotation (particularly for discourse and semantics research), dialogue, formal semantics, information retrieval, lexicon and lexical acquisition, machine translation, and computational psycholinguistics
