Research Abstract

We have developed a software program which collects, on a real-time basis, news articles published by major news agencies in Latin America. By employing natural language processing techniques, we have also created a software program which assigns syntactical and semantic tags to the texts automatically. Our ultimate goal is to generate a chronological database of political, social, and economic events worldwide. While our software programs have not produced such a database of practical use yet, we have already made a major impact through our presentations and publications in a variety of academic fields such as linguistics, language and information sciences, Latin American studies, political science, and sociology. Our project's international visibility is quite high because our journal articles and presentations are mostly in English or Spanish and we have participated rather aggressively in international conferences in countries such as the United States, Chile, Spain, and Italy.
