About this book
This volume provides language and linguistics researchers with an accessible introduction to the state-of-the-art NLP technology that facilitates automatic annotation and analysis of large text corpora at both shallow and deep linguistic levels. The book covers a wide range of computational tools for lexical, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and discourse analysis, together with detailed instructions on how to obtain, install and use each tool in different operating systems and platforms. The book illustrates how NLP technology has been applied in recent corpus-based language studies and suggests effective ways to better integrate such technology in future corpus linguistics research.
This book provides language and linguistics researchers with a valuable reference for corpus annotation and analysis.
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“‘Computational Methods for Corpus Annotation and Analysis’ is an excellent book for corpus linguists who are interested in using advanced corpus queries. It presents the latest computational tools for corpus annotation and analysis in a very accessible manner. The advice and resources in the book are also very practical and useful. It is highly recommended to researchers and students of corpus linguistics.” (Phoebe M. S. Lin, The Linguist List, March, 2015)
