(Text enbart på engelska)
Languages, formal or natural, permeate our intellectual and practical lives. When agents, computer or human, wish to record something, they must encode it in some type of language. Languages are defined by syntactic rules or constraints and are typically associated with some type of semantics or meaning.
The research group Natural and Formal Languages (NFL) studies the theoretical and practical aspects of representing languages on computers. The work of the group spans from highly theoretical analysis of formal languages as a theoretical basis for XML and linguistic applications to practical implementation and evaluation of natural language interfaces.
