'''Language engineering''' involves the creation of [[natural language processing]] systems, whose cost and outputs are measurable and predictable.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} It is a distinct field contrasted to natural language processing and [[computational linguistics]].<ref>[https://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S1351324999002144] Hamish Cunnigham, ''Natural Language Engineering''  (1999), 5: 1-16 Cambridge University Press</ref> A recent trend of language engineering is the use of [[Semantic Web]] technologies for the creation, archiving, processing, and retrieval of machine processable language data.<ref>Shiyong Lu, Dapeng Liu, Farshad Fotouhi, Ming Dong, Robert Reynolds, Anthony Aristar, Martha Ratliff, Geoff Nathan, Joseph Tan, and Ronald Powell, "Language Engineering for the Semantic Web: a Digital Library for Endangered Languages", ''Information Research,'' 9(3), April, 2004.</ref>
