Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction into the field of linguistics. In order to lay the groundwork for the subsequent chapters of this book, we focus on three main aspects. First, Section 2.1 explains the basic concepts of linguistics and introduces the different schools of thought. Then, Section 2.2 gives an overview of theoretical linguistics. In particular, it discusses the different branches of theoretical linguistics such as morphology, syntax, and semantics. Using the insights from this section, we can adequately describe and analyze the natural language phenomena in business process models. Subsequently, Section 2.3 introduces the field of natural language processing. Specifically, it presents theoretical foundations for analyzing natural language in an automated fashion. Finally, Section 2.5 concludes the chapter with a summary.
