Abstract: Computational Linguistics is the scientific study of human languages. It is one of the most relevant interdisciplinary field of Linguistics and Computer science. Intelligent Natural Language Processing (NLP) is based on the science called Computational Linguistics (CL). It is closely connected with General Linguistics and Applied Linguistics. Computational linguistics might be considered as a synonym of automatic processing of natural language, since the main task of computational linguistics is to construct computer programs to process Text/Speech in natural languages [4]. The paper attempts to provide an introductory view about computational linguistics and its various applications to language studies. The paper has three sections. The first section deals with introduction to computational linguistics, its major divisions (applied and theoretical) and some fundamental ideas about the topic. Second section deals with structure of computational linguistics -a tree diagram representation. The third section describes the various applications of computational linguistics in close association with language studies. Finally the paper summed up with conclusion and list of references.
