An Introduction to Natural Language Processing Through Prolog (Learning about Language) Review: Best NLP book for beginners - I teach a computational linguistics class that has to be accessible to students with zero computer experience. This is the only book I have ever found from which such students can actually learn a thing or two. A few years ago, it became unavailable in the USA, but now I am glad to see that it has returned to the market. For learning Prolog as a beginning programmer, this book is unmatched. For learning the basics of NLP as a novice, this book is unmatched. After working through this book, a reader will be prepared to move on to other material, and will also be in a better position to increase his/her computer programming skills and Prolog skills. Review: Good introduction to Prolog and parsing - I've been using this book to learn Prolog, and I found that it's a good introduction into basic Prolog programming. The book assumes little or no programming experience and each chapter has numerous exercises with answers. The last half of the book concentrates on programming techniques in Prolog for parsing regular languages, context-free languages, and context-sensitive languages. The focus, of course, is on natural language processing, so there is considerable explanation about how to take into account number agreement and object/subject agreement in a way that will scale with a large grammar or lexicon. One limitation of the book is that it focuses on parsing nearly exclusively, so there is little discussion of translation or other processing of parsed sentences.
