Abstract
ABSTRACT Recent achievements have turned Computational linguistics into a dynamic research area, and an important field of application development that is being explored by leading technology companies. Despite the advances, there is still much room for improvement to allow humans to interact with computational devices, through natural language, in the same way that humans interact with native speakers of the same language. How to make computers understand or create new metaphors, metonymies or other figures of language? Is it possible to develop natural language systems capable of producing lyrics or poetry on the same level as humans? Can we produce systems capable of assigning new meanings to syntactic elements that are immediately perceived as coherent by humans? In this paper, we account for the evolution of computational linguistics, drawing a parallel with the evolution of linguistic theories and speculating about its research opportunities and foreseeable limitations.
期刊介绍：
The journal Documentação de Estudos em Lingüística Teórica e Aplicada - DELTA is published by the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo / PUC-SP. DELTA has been published since 1985, and in 1992 it became a biannual publication. Editions are published in February and August. The journal is addressed to all areas of study concerning language and speech, whether theoretical or applied; however, only unpublished contributions will be considered. To briefly refer to the journal, the short title DELTA is recommended regarding bibliographies, footnotes, as well as bibliographical strips and references.
