SPoland. Since the beginning of the 1990's we have been developing a variety of computer-assisted natural-language projects, mostly related to lexicography and teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). We have produced a number of bilingual English-Polish dictionaries and other resources, including: (a) Collins English-Polish and Polish- English Concise dictionary, (b) English-Polish Dictionary of English Idioms, (c) Fisiak-Schwartz-Seaton semi-bilingual dictionary with phonetic indexing, (d) Pop-English (a CALL package for intermediate Polish learners of English), (e) rule-based grapheme-to-phoneme transcription tool (original general-purpose algorithm applied on a limited list of words of several European languages). Current research includes, among others, further work on the Collins series of bilingual dictionaries, preparing the new edition of the E-P/P-E Kosciuszko Foundation Dictionary, the PICLE project (machine-readable corpus of both written and spoken English of Polish students of English), the EFL Wordstation project (multi-access, machine-readable English- Polish dictionary for learners of English).
