Using Computers in Linguistics:
A Practical Guide
Computing has had a dramatic impact on the discipline of linguistics and
is shaping the way we conceptualize both linguistics and language.
Using Computers in Linguistics
provides a practical introduction to recent
developments in linguistic computing and offers specific guidance to the
linguist or language professional who wishes to take advantage of them.
The book is divided into eight chapters, each of which is written by an
expert in the field. The contributions focus on different aspects of the
interaction of computing and linguistics: the Internet, software for fieldwork
and teaching linguistics, Unix utilities, the availability of electronic texts,
new methodologies in natural language processing, and the development
of the CELLAR computing environment for linguistic analysis.
Features include:
a glossary of technical terms, including acronyms
chapter appendices which list and review relevant resources, such as
books, software, URLs
more extensive and regularly updated appendices of resources on the
World Wide Web:
