Natural language
Language as naturally spoken by humans / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about languages naturally arising in human society. For natural language in computer systems, see Natural language processing.
For the theory of inborn linguistic ability, see Universal grammar.
In neuropsychology, linguistics, and philosophy of language, a natural language or ordinary language is any language that occurs naturally in a human community by a process of use, repetition, and change without conscious planning or premeditation. It can take different forms, namely either a spoken language or a sign language. Natural languages are distinguished from constructed and formal languages such as those used to program computers or to study logic.[1]
