Overview

Mathematical Linguistics introduces the mathematical foundations of linguistics to computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians interested in natural language processing. The book presents linguistics as a cumulative body of knowledge from the ground up: no prior knowledge of linguistics is assumed. As the first textbook of its kind, this book is useful for those in information science and in natural language technologies.

<p>From the reviews: <p> Kornai s contribution is refreshingly different in that he treats, in this relatively compact volume, practically all areas of linguistics, phonetics, and speech and language processing. A single entry point to the central methods and concepts of linguistics that are made largely to the mathematician, computer scientist, or engineer . the most likely readership of this book consists of (computational) linguists and others who already know the linguistic issues . (Richard Sproat and Roxana Girju, Computational Lingustics, Vol. 34 (4), 2008)<p> This is a remarkable book on the mathematics used for linguistics. it provides a coherent, well-written view of the math required to model the structure of langiage as used in the main branches of linguistics: phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. The intended audience is anyone with sufficient general mathematical maturity, such as advanced undergraduate math. The math is presented well, and the material has a st
