SLP148: Language, Logic and Computation

This unit explores the interface between language, logic and computing, for students in any of the three disciplines. It provides an introduction to the issues that arise in the computational processing of human language, using basic concepts in linguistics and logic, and addressing the surface of language as well as its underlying structures. It covers basic concepts in Prolog programming, and includes an overview of natural language processing. The unit is co-taught by staff from Linguistics, Philosophy and Computing, through a series of interactive lectures and forums. Assessment is by means of in-class exercises and two written assignments.
