Foundations of Computational Linguistics Human-Computer Communication in Natural Language
The central task of a future-oriented computational linguistics is the development of cognitive machines which humans can freely talk with in their respective natural language. In the long run, this task will ensure the development of a functional theory of language, an objective method of verificat...
