- I'd like to see such a group also, but would also be interested in
- including discussions on psychological and computational aspects of
- language. I realize that this all may be too much to have in one
- group. Perhaps there could be a group such as: comp.ai.language or
- sci.cog.language etc.
-
- Either way, it would be nice to see some more psychology and AI in the
- philosophy of language.
-
- Best of Luck,
