Communication

Natural Language Processing Semantic Aspects

---

Communication has always played a pivotal role in the evolution of human culture, societies and civilisation. From symbols, cave paintings, petroglyphs, pictograms, ideograms and alphabet based forms of writing, to computerised forms of communication, such as the Web, search engines, email, mobile phones, VoIP Internet telephony, television and digital media, communication technologies have been evolving in tandem with shifts in political and economic systems.
Despite the emergence of a variety of communication means and technologies, natural language, or ordinary language, signed, written or spoken, remained the main means of communication among humans with the processing of natural language being an innate facility adhered to human intellect. With the rise of computers, however, natural language has been contrasted with artificial or constructed languages, such as Python, Java, C++, a computer programming language, or controlled languages for querying and search, in that natural languages contribute to the understanding of human intelligence. Nonetheless, the rise of social networks, e.g., Facebook, Twitter, did not replace natural language as one of the main means of information and communication in today’s human civilisation.
What proved, however, to be an innate ability of humans from an early age to engage in speech repetition, language understanding and, therefore, so quickly acquire a spoken vocabulary from the pronunciation of words spoken around them, turned out to be a challenge for computing devices as symbol manipulators following a predefined set of instructions.
