The Oxford handbook of computational linguistics

This collection of invited papers covers a lot of ground in its nearly 800 pages, so any review of reasonable length will necessarily be selective, but there are a number of features that make the book as a whole a comparatively easy and thoroughly rewarding read.

Abstract

The Oxford Handbook of Computational Linguistics features thirty-eight articles commissioned from experts all over the world. The book describes major concepts, methods, and applications in computational linguistics. Part I looks at linguistic fundamentals and provides an overview of the field suitable for senior undergraduates and non-specialists from other fields of linguistics and related disciplines. Part II describes current tasks, techniques, and tools in natural language processing and aims to meet the needs of post-doctoral workers and others embarking on computational language research. Part III surveys current applications.
