The field trip is the best way of puttingknowledge about language structure and use into practice, and forms an essential part of a linguist’straining.To satisfy the requirements of the course, students should (1) participate in a one-week field trip outsideHong Kong (e.g. to China, Europe, or Africa), led and supervised by members of staff, during theirsecond or third year of study; (2) carry out an empirical investigation of a linguistics topic inconsultation with their supervisors; and (3) write up and hand in a report upon return from the field trip.Assessment: Participation in the field trip and a written report.LING3002.Extended essay (6 credits)(This course is also offered to third year non-BA students for inter-Faculty broadening purposes.)Individual research on a topic chosen by the student in consultation with staff, in preparation forpossible postgraduate work.

On theone hand it explores the theoretical and practical issues surrounding the ability to get technology,especially modern information communications technology (ICT), to interact with humans usingnatural language capabilities. On the other hand, it is a discipline that investigates how technologies,especially ICTs, can serve as useful adjuncts to humans in language understanding, including analysis,processing, storage and retrieval. This investigation could lead to practical applications, including thedesign of online learning environments for language learning and multilingual retrieval for automatictranslation.AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:The following are some of the objectives of the proposed programme: (1) to give students a perspectiveof how technology relates to human language processing; (2) to understand how informationcommunications technology has been applied to different aspects of Linguistics and human languageprocessing and to what effect; (3) to critically evaluate the role of technology in human languageprocessing; and (4) to examine the range of opportunities available to different professionals regardingthe application of technology in human language processing.COMPONENTS OF THE PROGRAMME:To obtain a B. A. major in Human Language Technology, students must choose 48 credits in their 2ndand 3rd years from among the courses listed including LING2049. Linguistics field trip.
