Transformational and generative theory and computational linguistics- impact and influence-

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the relationship between computational linguistics and transformational generative theory, as well as the way they effect and influence each other through referring to the circumstances of their creation, process, and cross-development at both theoretical and practical levels. Theoretical side concerns modifications that happened on the transformational generative models as a response to the requirements of computational linguistics. Whereas, the practical side regards computational models .and applications that are designed on the basis of transformational generative ones The results that the study yields show that the dynamic development of transformational generative and computational linguistics is the outcome of an interactive relationship. Theoretical concept takes its tools from computational one while the later adopts the generative models to install its programs. This confirms the importance of both linguists and computational, on the other hand the necessity to adopt a linguistic theory for an automatic treatment of the language such as the generative one that proved efficiency in . this field and effectiveness by achieving it best results
