Extract

This paper is not designed as a survey of the field of language data processing. My views on this are set forth in some detail elsewhere. Rather, the purpose of this paper is to consider the varying extent to which a computer program can be integrated into the process of linguistic research itself. I am here limiting myself to descriptive linguistics.
