Parsing - syntax analysis by computer - has been and continues to
be an essential part of computer science. Parsing techniques have
provided a solid basis for compiler construction since the
mid-1960s, and continue to do so, thereby contributing to all
existing software today. They enable Web browsers to analyze HTML
pages, and PostScript printers to analyze PostScript, among other
things; and some of the more advanced techniques are being used in
code generation in compilers and in data compression. In
linguistics, the importance of formal grammars was recognized early
on, but only relatively recently have the corresponding parsing
techniques been applied extensively; and their importance as
general pattern recognizers is slowly being acknowledged. Today,
with problems of speed and memory largely out of the way, these
general techniques have grown considerably in importance, both in
computer science, where advanced compilers now often use general CF
parsers, and in computational linguistics, where such parsers are
the only option. interpreters in computer devices, and data
compression programs; and they are used extensively in linguistics.
To provide readers with low-threshold access to the full field of
parsing techniques, this second edition uses a two-tiered
structure. The basic ideas behind the dozen or so existing parsing
techniques are explained in an intuitive and narrative style,
starting from first principles of data structures and algorithms;
this provides breadth and accessibility. The hundreds of
realizations and improvements of these techniques are then
explained in a much terser, yet still informal, style in the
summaries of more than 700 papers referenced in the book; this
provides depth.
