What is the subject of Computational Linguistics

Let's begin with the practical side of it: the field of Computational Linguistics, generally speaking, encompasses everything to do with language related data and processing it with computer programs -- and that /is/ quite substantial. PCs can be found in every office and in most private households nowadays, and thus are used mostly for text processing. Much of what is saved, processed and printed with computers today was input in some natural language, such as german, english, or french.
