I once studied syntax and transformational grammar at Stony Brook University, along with other linguistic classes for Anthropology and find this an interesting development. When computer languages got started there was one SNOBOL which processed language, instead of numbers, which I thought might some day be developed, why even Bill Gates once promised a SNOBOL for Windows. (Where is it Mr. Gates?) Well this is interesting I imagine the algorithm is in some version of C+ or something. There was once three or four competing lists of rules for English syntax, about 33 or so, so this is a good thing for computers to do, so to speak, sort of a real-time syntactical concordance analyses. Bravo!
