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.
Thirty-eight chapters, comissioned from experts all over the world,
describe major concepts, methods, and applications in computational
linguistics. Part I, Linguistic Fundamentals, provides an overview
of the field suitable for senior undergraduates and non-specialists
from other fields of linguistics and related disciplines. Part II
describes current tasks, techniques, and tools in Natural Language
Processing and aims to meet the needs of post-doctoral workers and
others embarking
on computational language research. Part III surveys current
applications.
This book is a state-of-the-art reference to one of the most active
and productive fields in linguistics. It will be of interest and
practical use to a wide range of linguists, as well as to
researchers in such fields as informatics, artificial intelligence,
language engineering, and cognitive science.
A highly stimulating and impressive book which should be found in every library and every linguistics department. I strongly recommend it. International Journal of Lexicography An excellent reference book that provides a wealth of information and enables the experienced reader to enter quickly into new subject areas of CL [computational linguistics] and NLP [natural language processing]... The particular strengths of the OHCL are the comprehensive computation-oriented discussion of the fundamental linguistic issues and the broad coverage of NLP methods and resources. It thus extensively accounts for the theoretical and methodological backgrounds of CL and NLP... The publisher should consider issuing a moderately priced student's edition to make the OHCL affordable to the wide audience it definitely deserves. Linguist List
