Abstract :
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS in the design of electronic digital computers have suggested the possibility of translating languages by machine, but when one tries to write a good translation program for a computer, one finds that there is much to be learned about language. For this reason, no program has yet been written by which a computer could translate usefully; but a number of people have been challenged by the problem of filling in the gaps in present knowledge about language and translation.1,2
