Information Coding

• Languages code information only partially.

Tension between BREVITY and PRECISION.

Brevity wins leading to inherent ambiguity at different levels.

Examples:

• सिगरेट पीना -> सिगरेट के धुएँ का सेवन करना.


• shelf the books -> To put the books in the shelf.


• table the resolution ->
  • To postpone
  • To present before the audience.
  
  
• राम फल खाता है.



Humans use
• World Knowledge,
• Context,
• Cultural knowledge and
• Language conventions
to decipher it.
