Grammatical Framework is a programming language designed for writing grammars, which has the capability of addressing several languages in parallel. This thorough introduction demonstrates how to write grammars in Grammatical Framework and use them in applications such as tourist phrasebooks, spoken dialogue systems, and natural language interfaces. The examples and exercises presented here address several languages, and the readers are shown how to look at their own languages from the computational perspective.
Implementing a programming language means bridging the gap from the programmer's high-level thinking to the machine's zeros and ones. If this is done in an efficient and reliable way, programmers can concentrate on the actual problems they have to solve, rather than on the details of machines. But understanding the whole chain from languages to machines is still an essential part of the training of any serious programmer. It will result in a more competent programmer, who will moreover be able to develop new languages. A new language is often the best way to solve a problem, and less difficult than it may sound. This book follows a theory-based practical approach, where theoretical models se...
Constructive type theory is a unified theory of logic, mathematics and computer programming. This introduction to type-theoretical thinking puts its techniques to use in linguistic analysis. It clarifies the syntax and semantics of pronouns, noun phrases, tenses and text progression.
A concise introduction to structural proof theory, a branch of logic studying the general structure of logical and mathematical proofs.

Gilles Kahn was one of the most influential figures in the development of computer science and information technology, not only in Europe but throughout the world. This volume of articles by several leading computer scientists serves as a fitting memorial to Kahn's achievements and reflects the broad range of subjects to which he contributed through his scientific research and his work at INRIA, the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control. The authors also reflect upon the future of computing: how it will develop as a subject in itself and how it will affect other disciplines, from biology and medical informatics, to web and networks in general. Its breadth of coverage, topicality, originality and depth of contribution, make this book a stimulating read for all those interested in the future development of information technology.
This book consists of contributions related to the definition, representation and parsing of MWEs. These reflect current trends in the representation and processing of MWEs. They cover various categories of MWEs such as verbal, adverbial and nominal MWEs, various linguistic frameworks (e.g. tree-based and unification-based grammars), various languages including English, French, Modern Greek, Hebrew, Norwegian), and various applications (namely MWE detection, parsing, automatic translation) using both symbolic and statistical approaches.
'Philosophy of linguistics' investigates the foundational concepts and methods of linguistics, the scientific study of human language. It brings together philosophers, scientists and historians to map out both the basic assumptions set during the second half of the last century and the unfolding shifts in perspective in which more functionalist perspectives are explored.
The second edition of The Handbook of Contemporary Semantic Theory presents a comprehensive introduction to cutting-edge research in contemporary theoretical and computational semantics. Features completely new content from the first edition of The Handbook of Contemporary Semantic Theory Features contributions by leading semanticists, who introduce core areas of contemporary semantic research, while discussing current research Suitable for graduate students for courses in semantic theory and for advanced researchers as an introduction to current theoretical work
This volume contains thoroughly refereed and revised full papers selected from the presentations at the first workshop held under the auspices of the ESPRIT Basic Research Action 6453 Types for Proofs and Programs in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in May 1993. As the whole ESPRIT BRA 6453, this volume is devoted to the theoretical foundations, design and applications of systems for theory development. Such systems help in designing mathematical axiomatisation, performing computer-aided logical reasoning, and managing databases of mathematical facts; they are also known as proof assistants or proof checkers.
