Grammar (thanks to Jazzmin
Reece for the reference)
- From New York University Linguistics
Dept. - These pages house information about how to access
data on the Internet to answer the following question
under the stated assumptions: (1) How can we program a
computer so that we can interact with it in a natural
language (English, Chinese, and so on) and not have to
use an artificial language (Cobol, C. Fortran...)? What
problems must we solve so that the tail will no longer
wag the dog? (2) We assume that the conceptual problems
involved are answered by the theory of universal grammar
of Noam Chomsky, and the technical problems are answered
by non-procedural logical constraint-based languages like
Prolog.
