Research into Natural Language Processing - the use of computers to
process language - has developed over the last couple of decades
into one of the most vigorous and interesting areas of current work
on language and communication. This book introduces the subject
through the discussion and development of various computer programs
which illustrate some of the basic concepts and techniques in the
field. The programming language used is Prolog, which is especially
well-suited for Natural Language Processing and those with little
or no background in computing. Following the general introduction,
the first section of the book presents Prolog, and the following
chapters illustrate how various Natural Language Processing
programs may be written using this programming language. Since it
is assumed that the reader has no previous experience in
programming, great care is taken to provide a simple yet
comprehensive introduction to Prolog. Due to the 'user friendly'
nature of Prolog, simple yet effective programs may be written from
an early stage. The reader is gradually introduced to various
techniques for syntactic processing, ranging from Finite State
Network recognisors to Chart parsers. An integral element of the
book is the comprehensive set of exercises included in each chapter
as a means of cementing the reader's understanding of each topic.
Suggested answers are also provided. An Introduction to Natural
Language Processing Through Prolog is an excellent introduction to
the subject for students of linguistics and computer science, and
will be especially useful for those with no background in the
subject.
