DESCRIPTION:
Geraldo Faria said textbook for class and the avid reader who still likes university books. this is certainly an introduction of linguistics for advanced math experts. the concept has been revived through cycles in modern history, but this book stands out as a complete approach to language and its mathematics.. "Excellent review if some mathematical approaches to linguistics" according to Matthias Lalisse. Excellent review if some mathematical approaches to linguistics, including many topics not standardly covered in courses on this topic. The author's point of view, of a mathematician presenting mathematical concepts, is refreshing and illuminating.
From the reviews:"Kornai’s contribution is refreshingly different in that he treats, in this relatively compact volume, practically all areas of linguistics, phonetics, and speech and language processing. The book consists of ten chapters. … A single entry point to the central methods and concepts of linguistics that are made largely … to the mathematician, computer scientist, or engineer … . … The math is presented well, and the material has a strong narrative flow." (Rohan Baxter, Computing Reviews, March, 2009)“The book deals … with mathematics inspired by linguistics than with applications of mathematics in linguistics. … The book contains many interesting mathematical models, stimulating examples and elegant proofs, and it is well written.” (Jaroslav Král', Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1171, 2009). the most likely readership of this book consist
The book presents linguistics as a cumulative body of knowledge from the ground up: no prior knowledge of linguistics is assumed. As the first textbook of its kind, this book is useful for those in information science and in natural language technologies.. Mathematical Linguistics introduces the mathematical foundations of linguistics to computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians interested in natural language processing
