Language Technology
Language technology, formerly computer linguistics, is a multidisciplinary field of study. It researches the technical tools and methods with which human produced language - speech and writing - can be parsed to a format processable by a computer. Some well known applications of language technology are automatic spelling and grammar checking and speech recognition.
The Computer Linguistics subject was established under the Department of General Linguistics in 1987. Its current name came into use in 1999.
