Designed to bridge the gap for those who know Prolog but have little
or no background in linguistics, this book concentrates on turning theories
into practical techniques. Coverage includes template and keyword systems,
definite clause grammars (DCGs), English syntax, unification-based grammar,
parsing algorithms, semantics, and morphology. Helpful appendices present
an in-depth review of Prolog and ready-to-use string input and tokenization
routines.
