Abstract

Research into Natural Language Understanding systems for computers has concentrated on implementing particular grammars and grammatical models of the language concerned. This paper presents a rationale for research into Natural Language Understanding systems based on Neurological and Psychological principles.Important features of the approach are that it seeks to place the onus of Learning the language on the computer, and that it seeks to make use of the vast wealth of relevant Psychollngulstic and Neurollnguistic theory.
