A metalanguage for systematic research on human communication via natural language

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1974, vol. 25, issue 1, 59-69

Abstract: Systematic research on human communication will be enhanced by access to a metalanguage, which analyzes natural language texts rapidly and accurately into their structural counterparts. A rationale for constructing the metalanguage is provided in the context of a long‐range program of research, and illustrated by reference to an existing Computer‐Assisted Language Analysis System (CALAS) for use with English language texts. Such a metalanguage has immediate practical applications. Its underlying rationale also may be extended to encompass the study of policy‐oriented communications among persons or groups within or across human cultures.
