Programming language, natural language? Supporting the diverse computational activities of novice programmers
2017, Journal of Visual Languages and ComputingCitation Excerpt :Of the English sentences typed, 81% could be interpreted, and the authors suggest that many of the errors that did occur were easily resolvable. Capindale and Crawford [6] also found that natural language is an effective means of expressing database queries, particularly for users with prior knowledge of the contents of the database, regardless of their aptitude with computers. Miller carried out a number of studies investigating the potential for natural language to be used for programming [31–33].
