COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDIES: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

English has become the leading medium of global communication and the primary focus of linguistic research in both theoretical and applied domains. This paper explores the theoretical foundations of English linguistics, its applications in pedagogy and translation studies, and its integration into computational linguistics. With the advent of Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine translation, speech recognition, and corpus linguistics, English has emerged as the dominant language in computational research. The study highlights the interaction between linguistic theory and practical implementations, presenting both achievements and challenges of English in modern computational linguistics.
