Because they will keep their job quite for a few.This paper has been inspired by a recent editorial on the Financial Times, that gives a discouraging overview of commercial natural language processing systems ('the computer that can sustain a natural language conversation... is unlikely to exist for several decades'). Computational linguists are not so much concerned with applications but computer scientists have the ultimate objective to build systems that can 'increase the acceptability of computers in everyday situations.' Eventually, linguists as well would profit by a significant break-through in natural language processing.This paper is a brief dissertation on four engineering and linguistic issues we believe critical for a more striking success of NLP: extensive acquisition of the semantic lexicon, formal performance evaluation methods to evaluate systems, development of shell systems for rapid prototyping and customization, and finally a more linguistically motivated approach to word categorization.
