[Apologies for having sat on this query for several weeks. It was buried
in a biography. --W.M.]
Though an English Professor, I've become engaged with some colleagues
from Computer Science in research to improve word-processing software.
We would like to find ways to build a better spelling checker that
would be rule-based rather than reliant on lengthy lists of words. As
this project involves the application of artificial intelligence to
the acquistion of English language, we are naturally interested in the
points where linguistics and computer programing meet.
We would be very interested in hearing from people who are doing
research (or know of research being done) in linguistics or psycho-
linguistics as they relate to artificial intelligence. Has anyone out
there any experience in trying to subject grammatical and/or spelling
"rules" to the exigencies of a computer program?
Please address responses to TETRO@DALAC.

A colleague of mine in the German Department is wondering if anyone has, or
knows the location of, machine-readable texts of Heinrich von Kleist's LETTERS
and POETRY. Thanks!
