The science of the structure of human language as applied to the computer. The terms "computational linguistics" and "natural language processing" are often assumed to be synonymous; however, the former refers more to the science, and the latter more to its actual use in the field.

Computational Linguistics is an academic journal in the field of computational linguistics, published by The MIT Press for the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL). The journal is published quarterly, and includes articles, squibs and book reviews.

The journal was founded under the name of the American Journal of Computational Linguistics in 1974 by David Hays and was originally published only as microfiche until 1978. George Heidorn transformed it into a print journal in 1980, with quarterly publication. In 1984 the journal was renamed Computational Linguistics.

Since 2009, it has become an open access journal, freely available to anyone.
