We first consider why one would want to use natural language to communicate with computers at all, looking at both general issues and specific applications. Next we examine what it really means for a system to have natural-language capability.}, NOTE={This paper is based on a presentation made at the Pergamon Infotech conference Programming: New Directions", London, England, June 15-17, 1981. } }
