Would it be easier for a computer to learn a less complicated animal
language like dog, whale, dolphin, etc. If a database was created from
animal languages, maybe then we could also translate animal language to
human language and back again. Hmm.
How did human language evolve anyway? Surely we just have a more
sophisticated set of phonemes we can utter along with the intelligence to
create a grammar after constant repetition as babies? This is why I am
thinking a phoneme-based NLP system would be more practical than a
text-based one. Add some visual feedback to learn body gestures along with
the sounds would probably help too.
cheers,
Simon
