Abstract
Can computational linguistics steer clear of artificial cognitive agents with language, i.e., talking robots? The answer is no if the research goal of our interdisciplinary field is a functional reconstruction of free natural language communication, verified by a computational model. The practical outcome of this approach is unrestricted human-machine communication in natural language.
