The Handbook of Dialectology provides an authoritative, up-to-date
and unusually broad account of the study of dialect, in one volume.
Each chapter reviews essential research, and offers a critical
discussion of the past, present and future development of the area.
The volume is based on state-of-the-art research in dialectology
around the world, providing the most current work available with an
unusually broad scope of topics Provides a practical guide to the
many methodological and statistical issues surrounding the
collection and analysis of dialect data Offers summaries of dialect
variation in the world's most widely spoken and commonly studied
languages, including several non-European languages that have
traditionally received less attention in general discussions of
dialectology Reviews the intellectual development of the field,
including its main theoretical schools of thought and research
traditions, both academic and applied The editors are well known
and highly respected, with a deep knowledge of this vast field of
inquiry
This text assesses the importance of language technology to
increasingly popular computer-assisted language learning work. The
book contains writings on pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar,
reading, writing, testing, distance learning and user studies.

In "Theory and Evidence in Semantics," editors Erhard W.
Hinrichs and John Nerbonne present a series of state-of-the-art
papers that investigate the interface of natural language semantics
with other modules of grammar--such as morphology, syntax, and
pragmatics--and pursue applications of semantic theory in
computational linguistics. Written by some of the leading scholars
in the field, and strongly influenced by the seminal work of David
R. Dowty in model-theoretical semantics, the papers provide novel
accounts of highly complex sets of semantic phenomena, including
anaphora, coordination, ellipsis, interrogatives, and negative and
collective predicates, as well as tense and aspect.
