This is a Computer Science Institute and a part of the Mathematical Faculty. The research on natural language processing was initiated at the Institute by Janusz S. Bien in late sixties; the research has been carried in a very close altough usually informal cooperation with prominent Polish linguists, such as prof. Zygmunt Saloni and prof. Marek Swidzinski. Stanislaw Szpakowicz's formal description of Polish Syntax, developed in the Institute in 1978, is still widely used by other Polish teams, and his experimental parser was at that time one of the largest programs ever written in Prolog. Janusz Bien worked, among others, on taxonomical approach to Polish morphology; the review of his book (published in 1991) can be found in 'Journal of Slavic Linguistics' 2(2). Krzysztof Szafran's morphological analysis developed in 1993, thanks to the use of the most recent linguistic results, covers now not only over 120,000 words from the Great Dictionary of Polish, but also new and potential words. At present Bien and Szafran are working on a new parser of Polish.
