Description

Language and Computers introduces students to the fundamentals of how computers are used to represent, process, and organize textual and spoken information. Concepts are grounded in real-world examples familiar to students’ experiences of using language and computers in everyday life. A real-world introduction to the fundamentals of how computers process language, written specifically for the undergraduate audience, introducing key concepts from computational linguistics.Offers a comprehensive explanation of the problems computers face in handling natural languageCovers a broad spectrum of language-related applications and issues, including major computer applications involving natural language and the social and ethical implications of these new developmentsThe book focuses on real-world examples with which students can identify, using these to explore the technology and how it worksFeatures “under-the-hood” sections that give greater detail on selected advanced topics, rendering the book appropriate for more advanced courses, or for independent study by the motivated reader. Review “…a broad introduction is also needed by Bachelor’s students in linguistics, and by those studying to become language consultants, translators, and so on. This book would then be the natural choice.” (Computational Linguistics, 2013)“In general, I can certainly recommend “Language and Computers” as a broad introduction to language technology aimed at the general audience and at students who are curious about modern language technology.” (Mach Translat, 1 March 2013) From the Inside Flap The widening use of computers has powerfully influenced the way people communicate, search and store information. For the majority of individuals and situations, the primary vehicle for such information is natural language, and text and speech are crucial encoding formats for the information revolution. This book introduces students to the fundamentals of how computers are used to represent, process, and organize textual and spoken information. It allows students to effectively understand how the computer works and where the problems arise with the involvement of natural language. Self-contained chapters cover the central analytical concepts and provide students with tips on how to effectively integrate this knowledge into their working practice. The authors ground the concepts and analyses covered in the text in real-world examples familiar to students. Drawing on these examples, the authors teach students how to produce evidence-based analyses and arguments about language. The result is a book that teaches students to generate, justify and argue for valid conclusions about the design, capabilities and behaviour of natural language systems.
