Studying language variation requires comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge and new computational tools. This essential reference introduces researchers and graduate students in computer science, linguistics, and NLP to the core topics in language variation and the computational methods applied to similar languages, varieties, and dialects.

This collection of contributions addresses the problem of words and their meaning. This remains a difficult and controversial area within linguistics, philosophy and artificial intelligence. The title aims to provide answers based on empirical linguistics methods that are relevant across disciplines and accessible to researchers from different backgrounds.

This study explores an approach to text generation that interprets systemic grammar as a computational representation. Terry Patten demonstrates that systemic grammar can be easily and automatically translated into current AI knowledge representations and efficiently processed by the same knowledge-based techniques currently exploited by expert systems.

A primary problem in the area of natural language processing has been that of semantic analysis. Semantic Processing for Finite Domains presents an approach to the computational processing of English text that combines current theories of knowledge representation and reasoning in Artificial Intelligence with the latest linguistic views of lexical semantics.

Editors Madeleine Bates and Ralph Weischedel have invited capable researchers in the field of natural language processing to address theoretical or applied work that has been achieved in the past.

This book explains how to build Natural Language Generation systems - computer software systems which automatically generate understandable texts in English or other human languages. The book covers the algorithms and representations needed to perform the core tasks of document planning, microplanning, and surface realization.

This book describes the Spoken Language Translator (SLT), one of the first major projects in the area of automatic speech translation.

A collection of new papers by leading researchers on natural language parsing.

Computational Lexical Semantics is one of the first volumes to provide models for the creation of various kinds of computerized lexicons.
