Description

A state-of-the-art reference to one of the most active and productive fields in linguistics: computational linguistics. Thirty-eight chapters, commissioned from experts all over the world, describe the major concepts, methods, and applications. Part I provides an overview of the field; Part II describes current tasks, techniques, and tools in natural language processing; and Part III surveys current applications.

Readership: Academics and graduate students of linguistics and related disciplines; researchers in such fields as informatics, artificial intelligence, language engineering, and cognitive science
