Research monograph presenting a new approach to Computational
Linguistics The ultimate goal of Computational Linguistics is to
teach the computer to understand Natural Language. This research
monograph presents a description of English according to algorithms
which can be programmed into a computer to analyse natural language
texts. The algorithmic approach uses series of instructions,
written in Natural Language and organised in flow charts, with the
aim of analysing certain aspects of the grammar of a sentence. One
problem with text processing is the difficulty in distinguishing
word forms that belong to parts of speech taken out of context. In
order to solve this problem, Hristo Georgiev starts with the
assumption that every word is either a verb or a non-verb. Form
here he presents an algorithm which allows the computer to
recognise parts of speech which to a human would be obvious though
the meaning of the words. Emphasis for a computer is placed on
verbs, nouns, participles and adjectives. English Algorithmic
Grammar presents information for computers to recognise tenses,
syntax, parsing, reference, and clauses. The final chapters of the
book examine the further applications of an algorithmic approach to
English grammar, and suggests ways in which the computer can be
programmed to recognise meaning. This is an innovative,
cutting-edge approach to computational linguistics that will be
essential reading for academics researching computational
linguistics, machine translation and natural language processing.
