"This book offers a description of ANLP: what it is, what it does; and where it's going, including defining the role of ANLP within NLP, and alongside other disciplines such as linguistics, computer science, and cognitive science"--Provided by publisher.
Computer and cognitive scientists, psychologists, information scientists, and other contributors explore how computational approaches can help identify, investigate, and resolve real-life language-related issues. Among their topics are portable text summarization, text-to-text similarity of sentences, applying natural language processing to students' self-explanations, computer-aided rhetorical analysis, the morphological analysis of ill-formed Arabic verbs for second-language learners, using event semantics for toponym disambiguation, and evaluating narrative and expository text summaries using latent semantic analysis.
