This volume is a collection covering the diverse areas of
psycholinguistics, syntax, computational linguistics and phonology.
Abney's paper on Chunks provides an interesting new approach to
phrase structure, motivated by psycholinguist data, something that
is rarely done. Berwick and Fong provide a history of computational
implementations of (Chomskyan) Transformational Grammar. Cole's
phonology paper, arguing from Chamorro and English stress that
cyclicity is not needed in phonology, is also preceded by a
one-and-a-half-page introduction on why this is relevant to
computation. Coleman's contribution summarises work on
computational phonology and describes the York Talk speech
synthesis system. Hirschberg and Sproat's paper describes a system
they have written to assign pitch accent to unrestricted text in an
RT&T text-to-speech system. This is very much applied natural
language processing, but their system represents a more
thorough-going attempt at doing this well than has been previously
attempted, and this appears to be the first write-up of this work.
Johnson and Moss introduce Stratified Feature Grammar, a formal
model of language, inspired by Relational Grammar but formalised by
using and extending tools developed in the unification grammar
community. Finally, Nakazawa extends further Tomita's work so that
computer science LR parsing methods can be applied to natural
language grammars, here feature-based grammars.

"The Practical Guide to Syntactic Analysis" is a resource for
students and practitioners of syntax at all levels, addressing
matters that textbooks do not explain. Relatively independent
sections target issues ranging from the seductive metaphors of
generative grammar and the character of linguistic argumentation to
practical advice about both getting started and presenting
analysis. This second edition adds a reference guide to over sixty
grammatical phenomena that every syntactician should be familiar
with.
