Computational and corpus linguistics

This series will include monographs and collections of studies devoted to the investigation and exploration of knowledge, information, and data- processing systems of all kinds, no matter whether human, (other) animal, or machine.

During the period I have been working on this project I have received institutional support of several kinds, for which I am most grateful.

This book is a considerable revision and extension of my thesis for The Ohio State University completed in 1981: A Phrase Structural Analysis of the Japanese Language (Gunji 1981a).

This essay constitutes yet another approach to the fields of inquiry variously known as discourse analysis, discourse grammar, text grammar, functional 1 syntax, or text linguistics.

The present volume is as much a book co-authored by all the contributors as it is an edited collection of their papers.

An Introduction to Text-to-Speech Synthesis is a comprehensive introduction to the subject.

Modal Logic is a branch of logic with applications in many related disciplines such as computer science, philosophy, linguistics and artificial intelligence.

Fitting and Mendelsohn present a thorough treatment of first-order modal logic, together with some propositional background.

This collection of papers reports our attempt to sketch how Japanese grammar can be represented in a constraint-based formalism.

The editors of the Applied Logic Series are happy to present to the reader the fifth volume in the series, a collection of papers on Logic, Language and Computation.

Locality in WH Quantification argues that Logical Form, the level that mediates between syntax and semantics, is derived from S-structure by strictly local movement.

Techniques in Speech Acoustics provides an introduction to the acoustic analysis and characteristics of speech sounds.

Computational semantics is concerned with computing the meanings of linguistic objects such as sentences, text fragments, and dialogue contributions.

This book grew out of the Fourth Conference on Computers and the Writing Process, held at the University of Sussex in March 1991.

Connection science is a new information-processing paradigm which attempts to imitate the architecture and process of the brain, and brings together researchers from disciplines as diverse as computer science, physics, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, biology, engineering, neuroscience and AI.

A Linguistic Investigation of Aphasic Chinese Speech is the first detailed linguistic analysis of a large body of aphasic Chinese natural speech data.

The goal of this book is to integrate the research being carried out in the field of lexical semantics in linguistics with the work on knowledge representation and lexicon design in computational linguistics.

QUALICO has been held for the first time as an international conference to demonstrate the state of the art in quantitative linguistics.

That philosophical themes could be studied in an exact manner by logical meanS was a delightful discovery to make.

Since the first chapter of this book presents an intro- duction to the present state of game-theoretical semantics (GTS), there is no point in giving a briefer survey here.

Communication is one of the most challenging human phenomena, and the same is true of its paradigmatic verbal realization as a dialogue.

If we consider how theoretical operations belonging to the methodological inventory of linguistics are carried out (i.

This book is an introduction to the statistical analysis of word frequency distributions, intended for linguists, psycholinguistics, and researchers work- ing in the field of quantitative stylistics and anyone interested in quantitative aspects of lexical structure.

Linguists and engineers in Natural Language Processing tend to use electronic corpora more and more.

Recent Advances in Example-Based Machine Translation is of relevance to researchers and program developers in the field of Machine Translation and especially Example-Based Machine Translation, bilingual text processing and cross-linguistic information retrieval.

The origins of this book arise from the highly successful second SIGdial Workshop on Discourse and Dialogue that was held in September 2001 in con- junction with Eurospeech 2001.

The aim of the first volume of the present Handbook of Philosophical Logic is essentially two-fold: First of all, the chapters in this volume should provide a concise overview of the main parts of classical logic.

In almost all principled accounts of questions questions are related to the corresponding answers.

This volume presents a number of systems of logic which can be considered as alternatives to classical logic.

This collection of papers stems originally from a conference on Property Theory, Type Theory and Semantics held in Amherst on March 13-16 1986.
