Computer Science

An examination of natural language processing in Prolog for those who know Prolog but not linguistics.

• enables readers to move quickly into writing working, useful software.

• features an abundance of working computer programs that implement subsystems of a natural language processor. The programs are compatible with an Edinburg-compatible Prolog implementation (Quintus, ESL, Arity, ALS, etc.).

• offers broad coverage of natural language processing — including simple-but-practical database query systems, syntax, formal semantics, and morphology.

• provides many hands-on Prolog programming exercises.
