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:
