## Abstract

The intellectual challenges raised by naturallanguage processing (NLP) are serving as a focus for art ificial intelligence research as a whole; consequently, progress in NLP will almo st certainly have far-reachingsc i ent ifi c and practical effects. This survey of recent directions in natural-language processing explains the broad conception of language and thought that underlies work being done in this field today.
