Abstract
We introduce a general model for linguistics based on P systems, called linguistic P systems (LPSs). Several applications of LPSs to linguistic issues are suggested. Two variants of LPSs are developed: conversational P systems (CPSs) and dynamic meaning P systems (DMPSs). The former type of systems are used to provide a membrane computing approach to the analysis of conversational acts, while the latter type offer a bio-inspired framework for dealing with semantics.
