DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF NATURAL LANGUAGE COMMUNICATION (A CASE STUDY OF ENGLISH AND IGBO LANGUAGE)

ABSTRACT

Using a natural language in communication with a computer system can greatly facilitate the access to computer service for an average user. This paper presents a model of such communication system based on results of our own research of semantic analysis and sentence generation in polish language that can be used in a human-computer dialogue. Described here are multi-agent system structures and specified agent functions related to communication-based on natural language. Achievability of the proposed system of a virtual market of services and functions intended for agents are also discussed.  The plans for the future work and research that aim at constructing a prototype of the system of the multi-agent virtual market of services with the capacity for natural language communication between client and server system are discussed. The software English- soft is designed to bridge the gap between English and Igbo language in particular.
