Speech and Language Processing: An Introduction to Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics and Speech Recognition
This book is an absolute necessity for instructors at all levels, as
well as an indispensable reference for researchers. Introducing NLP,
computational linguistics, and speech recognition comprehensively in a
single book is an ambitious enterprise. The authors have managed it
admirably, paying careful attention to traditional foundations,
relating recent developments and trends to those foundations, and tying
it all together with insight and humor. Remarkable.(Amazon.com).
Modern English linguistics: A structural and transformational grammar by John P Broderick Modern English Linguistics showed how transformational grammar developed
out of American structuralist morphology and syntax. It then went on
to describe English grammar in some detail using the so-called "extended
standard theory" of transformational grammar described in Noam Chomsky's
book, Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. Despite considerable changes
in Chomsky's ideas in the 1980s and 1990s (as for example, government and
binding theory), linguistics textbooks continued to be published well into
the 1990s that were still based on the Aspects model.
The Handbook of Historical Linguistics provides a detailed account of the numerous issues, methods, and results that characterize current work in historical linguistics, the area of linguistics most directly concerned with language change as well as past language states.
The Handbook of Applied Linguistics The Handbook of Applied Linguistics is a collection of over 30 original articles that provide a comprehensive and up-to-date picture of the field of applied linguistics. The Handbook is divided in parts that demonstrate the two main approaches to the field: applications of linguistics to real world language data with the purpose of further understanding language and evaluating linguistic theory; and the problem based approach that investigates real world language with the purpose of understanding language use and ameliorating social problems.
