Abstract

The purpose of this talk is to make a personal plea, backed up by some practical comments, for the use of English or anyone else's natural language as a programming language. This seems to be a suitable subject for the conference, since whatever definition of pragmatics is decided upon, it certainly seems to be tied in with the users of any programming language and what the language means to them.
