Essential Programming for Linguistics (Edinburgh Advanced Textbooks in Linguistics) [Paperback] [2010] (Author) Martin Weisser
This book introduces programming for linguists. Linguistic programming is becoming an important topic for advanced students of linguistics, especially those that are trying to process corpus materials or literary texts for B.A. dissertations, Ph.D. theses, or advanced research.
This volume assumes no background knowledge of programming. It introduces linguists to the basic notions and techniques needed for linguistic programming and develops their understanding of electronic texts. Conversely, it also helps computer scientists who are unfamiliar with language processing and wonder which aspects of linguistics may be relevant to conducting intelligent, rather than purely "statistical" language processing. Many examples based on diverse topics demonstrate the immediate applicability of the concepts taught.
