Exploring the Intricate Relationship between Semantics and Computational Linguistics
Abstract
The main objective of the present study was to explore the intricate relationships between the two subfields of linguistics known as semantics and computational linguistics. For this purpose, researcher employed content analysis approach for congregating information from different written sources available on social media books, articles and newspapers. The findings of the research unveiled different type of relationships between these two as both are related as subfields of linguistics; different aspects and functions are also common; relationships through disciplines of computer science; theory of computation expressing relationship; semantic analysis expressing relationships; applications of computational linguistics (Automatic hyphenation, grammar, spelling and style checking, references to words and words to combinations, information retrieval) are expressing relationships; semantic computing expressing relationships; and Human Language Technology (HLT). On the bases of these findings’ researchers presented some recommendations for the future scholars and researchers.
