Computational Linguistics

Computational linguistics is a new science that uses computers to transform texts and information into computer digital language to facilitate linguistic analysis and development.  The digital Humanities Section at the University of Balamand is concerned with this research application for studying texts of manuscripts of the ninth and tenth centuries that were translated to Arabic from other languages, mainly Greek and Syriac.  This application helps in the understanding of the linguistic specificities of these texts in order to determine their origins.
