Language technology
Since time immemorial, Language technology has been the subject of fascination, study and debate. Its impact has transcended all cultural, geographical and temporal barriers, leaving an indelible mark on the history of humanity. From the remotest reaches of the past to the most immediate present, Language technology has been an object of adoration, analysis, and contemplation. In this article, we will explore in depth the many facets of Language technology, unraveling its meaning, its influence and its relevance in today's world. Throughout the pages that follow, we will embark on a fascinating journey through history, science, culture and society, in search of a more complete and enriching understanding of Language technology.
Language technology, often called human language technology (HLT), studies methods of how computer programs or electronic devices can analyze, produce, modify or respond to human texts and speech.[1] Working with language technology often requires broad knowledge not only about linguistics but also about computer science. It consists of natural language processing (NLP) and computational linguistics (CL) on the one hand, many application oriented aspects of these, and more low-level aspects such as encoding and speech technology on the other hand.
Note that these elementary aspects are normally not considered to be within the scope of related terms such as natural language processing and (applied) computational linguistics, which are otherwise near-synonyms. As an example, for many of the world's lesser known languages, the foundation of language technology is providing communities with fonts and keyboard setups so their languages can be written on computers or mobile devices.[2]
