Hinkelman” Computational linguists are, roughly, linguists who use computers and computer science, and computists who study language. The computer becomes a laboratory for testing models of language; a simple example is testing whether a a set of grammar rules really generates the desired structures. Viewing language analysis/generation as a computation with well-defined computational properties enables discussion of which properties enable it to account for the data. So CL’s have argued about whether morphophonology can be handled with Regular Grammars (which don’t reorder constituents
