As in wikipedia appears, natural language processing, also called human language technologies, is a subfield of artificial intelligence and linguistics. This studies the problems of automated generation and understanding of natural human languages. Thus, on the one hand the natural language generation systems convert information from computer databases into normal- sounding human languages, and on the other hand, natural language understanding systems convert samples of human language into more formal representations which are easier for computer programs to manipulated.
Another definition is the one that is giving by Hans Uszkoreit in his book “Language Technology A First Overview”. In this book he explains that Language technologies are information technologies that are specialized for dealing with the most complex information medium in our world: human language. Therefore this technologies are also often subsumed under the term Human Language Technology. Whereas speech is the oldest and most natural mode of language communication, complex information and most of human knowledge is maintained and transmitted in written texts.[...]Nevertheless, lnguage technology had to create formal representation systems that link language to concepts and tasks in the real world.
