“Alexa!” “Siri!” “Hey, Google!” If you’ve ever asked your smartphone for directions, messaged with a chatbot, or typed a random question into a search box, you already know the power of computational linguistics. Now, you can study how this technology works-and find ways to make it even better-in a rapidly growing field that brings together language and technology.
