Computer-assisted Language Learning for Deaf Children: a Natural Language Interface System

Originally a dissertation for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Computation, Umist (University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology), U. K., 1981. This is a scanned copy of the original, January 2010. The dissertation specifies a set of computer programs to allow learners to interact with a computer through written language. It sets out the computational foundations for an approach later investigated in a Ph. D. thesis, "Natural Language, Computer-Assisted Learning and Language-Impaired Children", by the same author, at the Department of Psychology, University of Hull, U. K., in 1987.
