Natursprachlichen

Natursprachlichen is a German adjective that translates to "natural language" or "naturalistic" when referring to language. It is used in contrast to artificial languages or formal languages that are constructed for specific purposes, such as programming languages or mathematical notation. In linguistics, "natursprachlichen" describes languages that have evolved organically over time through human communication, such as English, German, French, or Mandarin. These languages are characterized by their complexity, ambiguity, and rich cultural context.

The term can also be applied in fields like computer science, particularly in natural language processing (NLP). In NLP, "natursprachlichen" refers to the way humans naturally speak and write, and the challenge of enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate this kind of language. This involves dealing with nuances, idioms, sarcasm, and the vast variability found in human communication. The goal is to bridge the gap between human-generated text or speech and machine comprehension. Therefore, "natursprachlichen" fundamentally denotes that which is inherent to human communication as it naturally occurs, without deliberate artificial construction.
