"Modern Compiler Design" makes the topic of compiler design more accessible by focusing on principles and techniques of wide application. By carefully distinguishing between the essential (material that has a high chance of being useful) and the incidental (material that will be of benefit only in exceptional cases) much useful information was packed in this comprehensive volume. The student who has finished this book can expect to understand the workings of and add to a language processor for each of the modern paradigms, and be able to read the literature on how to proceed. The first provides a firm basis, the second potential for growth.

The Korean Verb - Structured and Complete provides an in-depth, systematic, and structured presentation of the Korean verb and its verb forms, a notoriously complex area for learners of the language. The book presents learners with a method that simplifies the forming and understanding of Korean verb forms. The method is based on encapsulating the irregularities in the verb forms in three stem forms for each verb. After introducing the three-stem method, the subsequent chapters apply this method to the three verb classes, consonant stems, vowel stems, and -stems. The book has three main features: the three-stem method; the complete treatment of irregular and similar regular verbs; and a complete dictionary of over 200 verb endings and suffixes. Each is useful in its own right; together they embody a complete understanding of the Korean verb form. The book is of prime interest to anybody who is involved in studying or teaching Korean, and more in particular to the intermediate and advanced student who likes to have a systematic way to tackle all Korean verb forms.

This second edition of Grune and Jacobs brilliant work presents new developments and discoveries that have been made in the field. Parsing, also referred to as syntax analysis, has been and continues to be an essential part of computer science and linguistics. Parsing techniques have grown considerably in importance, both in computer science, ie. advanced compilers often use general CF parsers, and computational linguistics where such parsers are the only option. They are used in a variety of software products including Web browsers, interpreters in computer devices, and data compression programs; and they are used extensively in linguistics.

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.
