Subject: The Language Calculator


This tool is designed for those in universities or higher education
organizations such as:
- Researchers for experimental work, e.g., computer scientists,
linguists, and postdocs
- Students of language to see how the world's languages work
- Software developers requiring a symbolic language model for accuracy
and energy efficiency
This 'symbolic' language model has been architected around the brain
science of linguistic framework RRG (Role and Reference Grammar) by
primary developer, Prof Robert Van Valin and cognitive scientist John
Ball. In doing so, it solves the problems statistical
approaches have with accuracy and energy efficiency.
This tool provides an introduction to the architecture and its
capabilities with a limited vocabulary that will be expanded as
funding is available. Early users of the system may be able to
participate in the system's future development to further its
usefulness as well as informing us how the brain works and how to
emulate that on machines.
