Why is it that you are interested in Apertium?

Apertium is the ideal opportunity for me to contribute something meaningful to the society through active learning and the discovery of my interest.

I am currently double majoring in Computer Science and Cognitive Science because this is the perfect combination of my love for computer intelligence and my fascination for the human mind. I like to imagine every individual as a different galaxy with their own stars, planets and weird things. And I have always been curious about studying new languages and their structures because for me it always seemed that the secret “bridge” to understanding human intelligence was laying there. By working with the Apertium’s machine translation platform not only I will explore this passion of mine but I will galvanize my life purpose “to create and contribute something totally unique to this world”.

Also one of the biggest reasons I am interested in Apertium is that preserving dying language could potentially help us understand how the human brain can/ categorizes the objects (ways of viewing), how human mind takes or stores information received from the outer world. By studying what all of the world's languages have in common, we potentially can discover what is and isn't possible in a human language. This, in turn, tells us important things about the human mind. The fewer languages there are to study, the less we will be able to learn about the human mind and the full range of complexity and structures it can produce.
