Document Summary
Without language there would not be any: chomsky"s work tells us what we need to know to understand language. It tells us what we have to know, but it doesn"t tell us about how the knowledge: natural language processing (winograd, 1972) trying to model how we things. It fooled people, but it didn"t actually have any knowledge of language store and use linguistic knowledge by building a machine that is capable of some form of linguistic understanding. Early forms of ai were not able to do this. Eliza was a computer program meant to stimulate human conversation. It rephrased statements as questions and had fixed responses for certain structure. Shrdlu was a program that was designed to use language to report its environment, plan actions, and to reason about implications. Shrdlu micro-world consists of a number of coloured shapes and it is capable of many actions in this micro-world.
