Computer programs can be written in a variety of different languages. Different languages are optimized for different tasks. Common languages include Java, C, C++, ForTran, Pascal, Lisp, and BASIC. Some people classify languages into two categories, higher-level and lower-level. These people would consider assembly language and machine language lower-level languages and all other languages higher-level. In general, higher-level languages can be either interpreted or compiled; many languages allow both, but some are restricted to one or the other. Many people do not consider machine language and assembly language at all when talking about programming languages.

The term often used by semioticians and others in a very general sense to mean any system of signs. It is also frequently used in a narrower sense to designate a system of verbal signs, talking verbal here to include both spoken (or auditory) and written signs. Language is the most common English translation for langue, although some authors propose ''tongue'' to be the better choice. In this paper, I will use language in a more general sense and langue as defined by Saussure.
