This research investigates natural language comprehension                  by computer systems.  Specific targets are to:                                  1) Describe how the ambiguity of words used in natural language                 may be resolved from context and "semantic relations" - the                     underlying structures connecting the possible alternative                       meanings of words.                                                              2) Develop a computer system, meta5, which automatically                        carries out natural language processing, using the semantic                     relations approach.  A key feature of this development is the                   use of parallel processing, with many computing elements                        operating simultaneously to analyse the natural language input.                      The significance of this research is that natural language                 processing systems, for machine translation, user interfaces,                   and knowledge based systems, must overcome the fundamental                      problem that ordinary words have many meanings, and the right                   one must be found for each occurrence.  The processing                          requirements of this task make it essential to explore parallel                 processing and other means of greatly increasing the computing                  power brought to bear on the problem.
