Modyco lab has a component in Corpus-based modelling with colleagues working in NLP and linguistics.

Paris Nanterre University has a very attractive master degree in NLP (plurital.org), in collaboration with Sorbonne Nouvelle University and INALCO, and several PhD students in NLP.
Although CNRS recruits researchers by way of a national competition, applicants are encouraged to select one or more research labs to which they would like to be assigned, and support is crucial for a successful application.
