The analysis will result in a set of contextual rules to convert dispreferred tags to preferred tags, so that the result of parallel tagging will be more accurate than the output of a single tagger. If there is time, it is hoped that the experiment can be extended to take in further taggers. The data for the project is being gathered from newspapers in Poland such as Gazzeta Wyborska and from tape recordings of spontaneous speech in a variety of settings. The current widespread inadequacy of grammar teaching in schools makes it highly desirable to provide this facility for university foundation courses, and the software is already being experimentally used in two universities apart from Lancaster. The purpose of this project was to collect and computerize, for the first time, a corpus from the writings of British Creole speakers of Afro-Caribbean origin.

The aim of the research proposed here is to improve the requirements analysis for legacy system evolution where the underlying business process has already changed. As far as we are aware, this is a unique focus which, despite addressing a real-world problem, has not been systematically addressed before. For more details, see the project web page .
