  • Abstract
    Men communicate with each other by natural language and with machines by computer language. Building a bridge between these forms of communication has proved difficult, possibly because of misunderstandings about the nature and use of each kind of language. This article points out that until people succeed in storing in a computer considerable areas of human experience, they are not likely to make a computer interact usefully with natural language.
