</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Apart from the subroutines described above, there are additional subroutines that facilitate information retrieval and other linguistic data-processing. Statistical linguistics may obviously be efficiently treated by a mathematically oriented programming language. null This paper is not supposed to be a plea for FORTRAN, but for a universally applicable problem-oriented language, which will make the progress achieved in programming in one field accessible to the users of computers in all fields. A combination of subroutines written in this language may do the job that is done today by separate problem-oriented languages. A programming language like PL/I, or a language still to be created, may do the job more efficiently than FORTRAN. The idea is that the programs written will have a maximal possibility of application and that programmming examples given in the literature describing computer problems will be understood by all the readers interested.</Paragraph>
