Language engineering

Language engineering

Language engineering is the creation of natural language processing systems whose cost and outputs are measurable and predictable as well as establishment of language regulators, such as formal or informal agencies, committees, societies or academies as language regulators.Although this is usually referred to as a Language planning, the word engineering is used to refer specifically to linguistic design or developing new structures to meet contemporary needs [ Language: An Introduction, Lehmann, W.P., 1983, Random House ] . It is a distinct field contrasted to Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics [ [http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S1351324999002144] A definition and short history of Language Engineering, Hamish Cunnigham,Natural Language Engineering (1999), 5: 1-16 Cambridge University Press] .
