Sorry, to put it more accurately: #1 is using an "ad hoc" NLP subsystem to translate NL to logic #2 is building a language model entirely in the AGI's logical language, thus reducing the language understanding & production problems to inference problems. Which also allows life-long learning of language in the AGI. I think #2 is not that hard. The theoretical basis is already there. Currently one of the mainstream methods to translate NL to logic, is to use FOL + lambda calculus. Lambda expressions are used to represent "partial" logical entities such as a verb phrase.
