Abstract
From the algebraic point of view, any language represents some subset of words of a free monoid (Lalleman, 1979). Formally, the main problems of language representation and knowledge-based reasoning can be reduced to the limitations on a free monoid, and to those that also allow such words and sentences to be recognized (Salomaa, 1981). By their nature, at least, these problems are similar to those of representation and recognition of self and nonself by the natural immune system. This chapter will show that the analogy is actually much more profound, and that it leads to developing an IC approach to language representation and knowledge-based reasoning.
