Linguistics and Language Technology: A Practical Appraisal

In developing nations, Computational Linguistics (CL) and Language Technology (LT) are areas of wide research possibilities in linguistics, language teaching and silicon industry. These intersections and their combinations offer countless professional opportunities for practising as well as prospective researchers in the field of linguistics and language technology. Effective researches in these areas require interdisciplinary expertise in linguistics and Information Technology (IT). However, in the context of developing countries, researchers face countless challenges regarding their competence and performance while conducting practical research. This paper seeks to understand the ground level realities of scholarly expectation from Language Technology (LT) researchers. The paper will provide an insight into their professional lives, previous academic qualification/experiences, and facilities they are provided with. Moreover, it will help in gauging a practical understanding for creating better and more realistic task force for effective researches.
