The present paper illustrates four features of the current development of natural language processing studies: the rationalistic approaches based on syntactic-semantic rules have been oppugned and processing of large-scaled authentic texts is becoming the primary objective of natural language processing with the construction of corpora and the growing of corpus linguistics;natural language processing acquires language knowledge by increasingly relying on automatic machine learning;more and more statistical mathematical approaches are used in natural language processing,and,the function of lexicon is being recognized increasingly and the strong Lexicalism tendency is to be presented.
