Hans Paulussen

Hans Paulussen is a translator and a computational linguist, with many years of experience in foreign language teaching (Dutch, English and French) and research in computational linguistics. He wrote a PhD thesis on the contrastive analysis of prepositions and particles in English, French and Dutch within the cognitive linguistic framework. Part of this project consisted in building the Namur Corpus: a trilingual parallel corpus of English, French and Dutch fiction and non-fiction.

At present, he is a senior researcher at the departement of French Linguistics at the University of Leuven (Campus Kortrijk), where he evaluates the implementation requirements for a corrective feedback of the CALL program IDIOMA-TIC.

He has been involved in a number of computational linguistic projects which cover different aspects of language technology, including the following topics:

• automatic grammatical tagging
• multilingual character conversion
• word processor format conversion
• CALL
• CorpusCALL
• computational lexicography
• phonetic transcription mapping
• parallel corpus processing
• etc.
