Subject: Text-Analysis For Students
Dear all,
I promised to get back with a summary of the suggestions for good
articles/books for students on text-analysis. Here is a list of works I
have put together from your suggestions and my research. This list does not
include materials on the web (some of these are available on the WWW). That
list I am still working on. You will also notice that this list goes beyond
the scope of my original question, but it should still be of interest.
Thanks to Eric Johnson, John Bradley, Joseph Raben, Gary Shawver, and Peter
Liddell for their suggestions. I am sure I have overlooked something you
know about - don't hesitate to e-mail me at grockwel@mcmaster. ca.
Yours,
Geoffrey Rockwell
