I have a presentation to prepare and I don't understand the subject very well, I'm afraid if somebody from the audience asks me to elaborate whats cognitive linguistics and computational linguistics are? I wouldn't know how to answer. Can you just give me a short simple definition accompanied with some examples, please?

Goodstein once asked Feynman to explain why "spin one-half particles obey Fermi-Dirac." Feynman replied that he'd prepare a freshman lecture on it, but then he came back a few days later empty handed. "I couldn't reduce it to freshman level," he admitted to Goodstein. "That means we don't really understand it." That is to say, if Feynman couldn't explain something in simple terms, there was a problem with the information, not with Feynman's teaching ability.

This is an important principal to remember. Whenever you see something that bogs down in words of many syllables and concepts that you have to look up and then can't remember what they mean, that means the subject is not clearly understood even by the people that support it. The fact is I am pretty smart and I didn't understand the explanation either. I suggest you get out of this assignment, and tell everybody why: the subject is total bullstuff. The first line of the explanation at wikipedia sounds like it was lifted from a book on computers.
