The study of how computers can be used to process and analyze language.

Phonetics: The study of how sounds are produced, transmitted, and received in human language.
Phonology: The study of how sounds are organized and used in human languages.
Morphology: The study of the structure of words and how they are formed from smaller units called morphemes.
Syntax: The study of how words are combined to form phrases and sentences in a language.
Semantics: The study of meaning in language, including how words and sentences can be used to convey meaning.
Discourse analysis: The study of how language is used in larger units of discourse, including conversations, narratives, and texts.
Pragmatics: The study of how language is used in social contexts to convey meaning, including aspects of speech acts, presupposition, and implicature.
Corpus linguistics: The study of large collections of texts or spoken language, typically analyzed to reveal patterns and trends in language use.
Statistical models: The use of probability theory and statistics to model language and language data, including techniques such as machine learning and natural language processing.
Machine learning: The branch of artificial intelligence that studies algorithms and statistical models that allow computer systems to improve their performance on a specific task through experience.
Natural language processing (NLP): The study of how to make computers understand and generate human language, including tasks such as language identification, syntactic analysis, and machine translation.
Computational semantics: The study of how to represent and process meaning in natural language using formal logic and computer algorithms.
Speech recognition: The technology that allows a computer to recognize and transcribe spoken language.
Speech synthesis: The technology that allows a computer to generate natural-sounding speech from text input.
- "Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the computational modelling of natural language, as well as the study of appropriate computational approaches to linguistic questions."
- "Computational linguistics draws upon linguistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, logic, philosophy, cognitive science, cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, anthropology and neuroscience, among others."
- "Since the 2020s, computational linguistics has become a near-synonym of either natural language processing or language technology."
- "Deep learning approaches, such as large language models, outperform the specific approaches previously used in the field."
