CRCL Inc

The Center for Research in Computational Linguistics was incorporated as CRCL Inc in 2003 for educational purposes under the California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law. CRCL's mission is to promote research and study of modern and historical languages, focusing on Southeast Asia, and helping to fill the gap between the emerging discipline of computational linguistics, and the traditional methods of the Southeast Asian linguistics / languages community. Since its founding CRCL has successfully promoted development and dissemination of resources and methods with the support and collaboration of colleagues in the US Southeast Asian Studies National Resource Centers, the Coalition of Teachers of Southeast Asian Languages, the Committee on Research Materials on Southeast Asia, American Councils for International Education, the Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (University of Wisconsin-Madison), SOAS London, U of Edinburgh, Scotland and other US / international universities.
