    Study Notes

    Semantics and Pragmatics

    • The main focus of semantics is the study of meaning in language.
    • Pragmatics primarily studies how context affects the interpretation of language.

    Formal Language

    • A formal language symbol is a character or string of characters that represents a unit of language in a formal system.
    • In the context of formal language, an alphabet is a set of basic characters or symbols used to form words, phrases, and sentences.

    Natural Language Processing

    • Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subdomain of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that deals with human-computer interaction.
    • The primary concern of NLP is to enable computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.

    Computational Linguistics

    • Computational linguistics primarily focuses on the computational aspects of language, including developing algorithms and statistical models for language processing and analysis.

    Formal Language Study

    • The main focus of formal language study is the mathematical and logical aspects of language, including syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
