Etymology

From French Prolog, abbreviation of Programmation en Logique.

  1. (computer languages) A programming language developed in the 1970s for artificial intelligence and logic programming.
    • 2006, Patrick Blackburn, Johan Bos, Kristina Striegnitz, “§7.1”, in Learn Prolog Now!‎[1], archived from the original on 28 March 2015:
      Prolog has been used for many purposes, but its inventor, Alain Colmerauer, was interested in computational linguistics, and this remains a classic application for the language. Moreover, Prolog offers a number of tools which make life easier for computational linguists, and we are now going to start learning about one of the most useful of these: definite clause grammars, or DCGs as they are usually called.
