Automating the Lexicon

`If ever a book celebrated cooperation, the coming together of diverse people in an effort to learn from each other, that book is Automating the Lexicon ... an important stock-taking from the mid-1980s...many of its papers survey a wide range of different approaches and issues in computational linguistics, picking interesting ideas from here and there.'

Times Higher Education Supplement `The book ... is very well edited ... it presents a vast array of real natural language processing systems with appropriate references, most of which will be of interest to readers of this journal. It also forms a good starting point for anyone embarking on the construction of large lexicons, be they for spell checking, machine translation, text generation or computer assisted language learning.' Natural Language Engineering, Vol 2- Part 3 `The collection is readable...This collection of Workshop papers will be useful for a graduate seminar course which covers computational linguistics, particularly outside of the domain.'
