Computational linguistics in support of linguistic theory

In this paper, we overview the ways in which computational methods can serve the goals of analysis and theory development in linguistics, and encourage the reader to become involved in the emerging cyberinfrastructure for linguistics. We survey examples from diverse subfields of how computational methods are already being used, describe the current state of the art in cyberinfrastructure for linguistics, sketch a pie-in-the-sky view of where the field could go, and outline steps that linguists can take now to bring about better access to and use of linguistic data through cyberinfrastructure.

International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering (ijasre), 2024

Linguistics is concerned with rules that are followed by languages as a system. Computational linguistics (CL) combines the power of machine learning and human language. As a subfield of linguistics, CL is concerned with the computational description of rules that languages follow. It is what powers anything in a machine or device that has to do with languageā€”speaking, writing, reading, and listening. It is often linked with natural language processing (NLP), which is the use of computers to identify structures in natural language. The boundary between NLP and CL is not so clear-cut. This paper is a primer on computational linguistics.
