| Feb 3, 2012 at 14:44 | comment | added | Hooked | @ArtemKaznatcheev Both. The NLP seems to cover much of the computational aspect, but the general mathematical formations are interesting as well. I've had some experience with lambda calculus, which in some regards, I think can considered a mathematical language (correct me if I'm wrong please!). | |
| Feb 3, 2012 at 4:52 | comment | added | Artem Kaznatcheev | @Hooked are you only interested in specifically computational treatments? or also in general mathematical linguistics? | |
| Feb 2, 2012 at 4:33 | comment | added | Vielle | What I'm interested in learning more about is how to computationally model language change, origin etc. Here is a review by Simon Kirby, Natural Language from Artificial Life (2002). He does comp. ling. work on language evolution. However this review doesn't cover models of phonetics or phonology, which I would like to see. I put this topic aside for some time until I saw your question. Hopefully someone can provide more information on this path. I might ask a separate question if necessary. | |
| Feb 2, 2012 at 4:15 | comment | added | Vielle | I am actually a beginner myself and looking to learn as well. I think part of the confusion lies in the definition of computational linguistics. It appears that some people do use it synonymously with nlp. I am using the Association for Computational Linguistics' definition mentioned at the end of the wiki article. The NLTK book others mention below sounds like a good text for applying nlp methods/tools to simplify data processing of more traditional linguistics research. | |

| Jan 31, 2012 at 5:57 | comment | added | Hooked | @Vielle - I don't, but only out of an (admitted) ignorance to the field. As a counterpoint to the answers by Hugo and Anthony below could you suggest a CL reference for a beginner?, | |
| Jan 31, 2012 at 5:33 | comment | added | Vielle | This question and the submitted answers confuse me slightly because I think there is a distinction between Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics. Though perhaps once related or more appropriately considered a subfield, NLP currently involves machine-learning and statistical techniques to process/translate natural language, whereas computational linguistics aims to model linguistic phenomena. I think it doesn't help that/if the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably. To clarify, do you distinguish between the two? | |
