Is it correct to assume, that Natural Language is ambiguous by nature (in its properties) or because of nature (as a result of various aspects of natural states) - hence the need to develop and study it as a science; yet it shares an un-ambiguous commonality in its subjects, i.e. “...mathematics, logic, formal languages, computer languages...”- hence the ability to develop solutions for everyday life, such as through Computational Linguistics, based on the ‘repeatability’ or algorithms of its properties?

PS: I can't open the downloadable folder 'open mindmap'. The copyright version is certainly valuable though. Thanks.

Tristan:

Regarding your downloadable mind map:

1. What do you mean by signal f1, f0 and f2 (under ‘Speech’)?

2. Theoretics?

3. Where would you place ‘motivation’ – the ‘spirit’ behind the word – the intention, desire and will to give it meaning? Would it be categorised under ‘sense – theme’?

4. Would such a mindmap (used as a checklist in approaching development of various communication options) still be successfully applied in providing the same options to disabled users, e.g. in e-learning? How?

I'm trying to finish my own paper at the moment (I, too, am fully occuped by my love of Sophia), but I'll get back to this question...

Thank you Tristan. Guidance well-received :=)))

you guys seem to have a stranglehold over a multiple of groups-defeats the point of starting a new one. i want to get into this at some point. though need a bit of time, i suppose

The difference between Natural Language and Artificial Language.
