Remarks on the science and technology of language

Jens Erik Fenstad

European Review, 1996, vol. 4, issue 2, 107-120

Abstract: Language and logic are inseparably intertwined in the European intellectual tradition. It has not always been an easy relationship. There have always been issues of substance whether the two were friends or foes. Today computation is a part of the equation, and we are seeing the development of a new discipline of computational linguistics. But meaning in language is more than the combinatorial properties of signs. We note some limitations of the current technology and put forward some observations on the broader topic of grammar and mind.
