Computational linguistics refers to the studying and analysis of human speech so that the computer can transform it into a format it recognizes. This branch of computer science is also known as voice recognition.
Computational Linguistics - journal - was created in 1974.
Association for Computational Linguistics was created in 1962.
International Committee on Computational Linguistics was created in 1965.

Computational linguistics focuses on the study of language from a computational perspective, while natural language processing (NLP) involves the development of algorithms and models to process and understand human language. Computational linguistics is more theoretical and linguistic-focused, while NLP is more practical and application-oriented.

A computational linguist studies the patterns in language to make inferences about the greater culture. A computational linguist has an important job in society, because he or she explains why language works the way it does. To become a computational linguist, students should study linguistics during their undergraduate education. If a linguistics major is unavailable, then a student may want to try pursuing an English major. Because computational linguistics combines linguistics and statistics, taking a few statistics courses is also recommended. A student with a double major in math and linguistics will have a greater likelihood of landing a computational linguist job than a student with only a linguistics degree. A student should try to take a broad interdisciplinary approach to prepare for a computational linguist career.

In linguistics, the term "phone" refers to the smallest unit of sound that can distinguish words in a language. It is different from a phoneme, which is a distinct sound that can change the meaning of a word.
