Language engineering
Language engineering is the creation of natural language processing systems whose cost and outputs are measurable and predictable as well as establishment of language regulators, such as formal or informal agencies, committees, societies or academies as language regulators. Although this is usually referred to as language planning, the word engineering is used to refer specifically to linguistic design or developing new structures to meet contemporary needs.[1] It is a distinct field contrasted to natural language processing and computational linguistics.[2] A recent trend of language engineering is the use of Semantic Web technologies for the creation, archival, processing, and retrieval of machine processable language data.[3]
