Natural Language
Natural Language Processing has two major sub-categories: text and speech. Both include activities like: recognizing distinct words, deciding what part-of-speech the word is, parsing an utterance into phrases, generating new text/speech and translating text/speech from one language to another. Each of these steps has its own community of researchers.
