Related fields
- Computational Linguistics (CL)
- Corpus Linguistics
- Information Retrieval
- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Pattern Recognition
The differences among the aforementioned fields related to NLP are a matter of perspective and taste. Nonetheless, NLP is more frequently regarded to be an engineering-oriented approach while CL is rather more associated with theoretical aspects.
