This book teaches the principles of natural language processing and covers linguistics issues. It also details the language-processing functions involved, including part-of-speech tagging using rules and stochastic techniques. A key feature of the book is the author's hands-on approach throughout, with extensive exercises, sample code in Prolog and Perl, and a detailed introduction to Prolog. The book is suitable for researchers and students of natural language processing and computational linguistics.

From the reviews:
"This book presents a concise introduction to natural language processing both theoretical and practical in nature with emphasis on English, French and German language structure. . The text is suitable for researchers and students of natural language processing and computational linguistics . . In fact, there is an elaborate internet site . dedicated to this book . ." (Rainer Horsch, Zentrablatt MATH, Vol. 1096 (22), 2006)
"This comprehensive NLP textbook is strongly algorithm-oriented and designed for talented computer programmers who might or might not be linguists. . Nugue's book is also useful to working professionals as a handbook of techniques and algorithms. . this is an unusually useful and well-written book, and I plan to recommend it to my students as well as using it myself as a handbook." (Michael A. Covington, Computational Lingustics, Vol. 33 (4), 2007)
