Computer processing of natural language is a burgeoning field, but until now there has been no agreement on a standardized classification of the diverse structural elements that occur in real-life language material. This book attempts to define a "Linnaean taxonomy" for the English language: an annotation scheme, the SUSANNE scheme, which yields a labelled constituency structure for any string of English, comprehensively identifying all of its surface and logical structural properties. The structure is specified with sufficient rigor that analysts working independently must produce identical annotations for a given example. The scheme is based on large sample of real-life use of British and American written and spoken English. The book also describes the SUSANNE electronic corpus of English which is annotated in accordance with the scheme. It is freely available as a research resource to anyone working at a computer connected to Internet, and since 1992 has come into widespread use in academic and commercial research environments on four continents.

Industry Reviews

`Sampson's book and associated computer files are indeed meeting a need. The material is already widely used and often mentioned by researchers in NLP.' Times Higher Educational Supplement `This book has been beautifully produced by the publisher, and is a well-written and meticulously detailed description of, and justification for, the Susanne scheme of analysis and annotation of natural English. It will be invaluable to linguistic scholars ... It is also indispensable to serious users of the Susanne corpus who are investigating linguistically complex issues within the Susanne texts.' E. Wilson, University of Kent, Axis 3:1 `Many of its papers survey a wide range of different approaches and issues in computational linguistics, picking interesting ideas from here and there...Sampson's book and associated computer files are indeed meeting a need. The material is already widely used and often mentioned by researchers in NLP.' Times Higher Education Supplement
