Linguistics and Natural Language Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction The paper addresses the issue of cooperation between linguistics and natural language processing (NLP), in general, and between linguistics and machine translation (MT), in particular. It focuses on just one direction of such cooperation, namely applications of linguistics to NLP, virtually ignoring for now any possible applications of NLP to linguistics, which can range from providing computer-based research tools and aids to linguistics to implementing formal linguistic theories and verifying linguistic models. Section 1 deals with the question why linguistics must be applied to NLP and what the consequences of ignoring it are. Section 2 provides a counterpoint by discussing how linguistics should not be applied to NLP and, by contrast and inference, how it should be. Section 3 narrows the discussion down to one promising approach to NLP, the sublanguage deal, and the interesting ways, in which linguistics can be utilized within a limited sublanguage. Section 4 is devoted specifically but necessarily briefly to the things linguistics can contribute to MT. Due to the deliberately self-contained design of the paper, only the essential references are listed.

Collocational Processing in Two Languages: A psycholinguistic comparison of monolinguals and bilinguals
With the renewed interest in the field of second language learning for the knowledge of collocating words, research findings in favour of holistic processing of formulaic language could support the idea that these language units facilitate efficient language processing. This study investigated the difference between processing of a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) of congruent col...

In this paper I aim at sketching out in bare outline a new model/framework of language processing with its implications for natural language processing. Research in theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics and mathematical linguistics has delineated the ways natural language can be represented and modeled. Studies in cognitive (neuro)science, on the other hand, have shown how language...
متن کاملIntroduction in Natural Language Processing
Natural Language processing (NLP) is a field of computer science and linguistics concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages. In theory, natural-language processing is a very attractive method of human-computer interaction. Natural-language understanding is sometimes referred to as an AI-complete problem, because natural-language recognition seems to require ...
