    <Paragraph position="0"> The LSE &amp;quot;went live&amp;quot; on January 20, 2004 and approximately 1000 people have registered and tried at least one query. In response to a recent survey, several dozen LSE users reported having tried it more than casually, and there are a dozen or so reports of the LSE having proven useful in real work, either for research or as a tool that was useful in teaching. Resnik et al. (2005) describe two pieces of mainstream linguistics research one in psycholinguistics and one in theoretical syntax - in which the LSE played a pivotal role.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The LSE software is currently being documented and packaged up, for an intended open-source release.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2">  In addition to continuing linguistic research with the LSE, we are also experimenting with alternative indexing/search schemes. Finally, we are engaged in a project adapting the LSE for use in language pedagogy specifically, as a tool assisting language teaching specialists in creating training and testing materials for learners of Chinese. For that purpose, we are experimenting with a built-in collection of Chinese Web documents that includes links to their English translations (Resnik and Smith, 2003).</Paragraph>
