CAN COMPUTER SPEAK?

The status of COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS is questioned here from four perspectives: from the standpoints of (a) Philosophy of science, (b) Natural Science (mismatch between human Cognitive domain and machine algorithms) (c) Social Science (Plurilingual Planning), (d) Algocentricism (in contrast with post-formal subjective and substantive task of Linguistics). It is a part of completed ISI-project. These problems are summarized as follows: COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE PROBLEM THERE IS NOTHING CALLED “PEN-PAPER-CARD LINGUISTICS” IF COMPUTER MANIPULATES LINGUISTIC DATA THROUGH THE “PEN-PAPER-CARD” METHOD, IS IT JUSTIFIED TO LABEL IT AS A SEPARATE DISCIPLINE?
