Syntactic Wordclass Tagging
edited by
Hans van Halteren
Dept. of Language and Speech
University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands
This book provides an in-depth discussion of the field of syntactic
wordclass tagging, i.e. the annotation of the words in a text with tags
indicating their syntactic properties. Represented are the viewpoints of
the two main groups who take an interest in tagging: the users of tagged
text and the developers of tagging software.=20
The book starts out by examining the field foremost from the user's point
of view. After a brief historical overview, the nature and uses of tagging
are discussed and current practice is described. Here the user will find
what tagging is and the software developer what it is the user wants.=20
The book then switches to the other point of view and continues with a
detailed explanation of the most common computational techniques for
automatically tagging large amounts of text. Here the software developer
finds information needed for the implementation of a tagger while the user
gains insight into the possibilities and impossibilities of automatic
tagging and how computer-provided tags should be interpreted.

Techniques in Speech Acoustics
by
Jonathan Harrington
Steve Cassidy
Speech Hearing and Language Research Centre
Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
"Techniques in Speech Acoustics" provides an introduction to the acoustic
analysis and characteristics of speech sounds. The first part of the book
covers aspects of the source-filter decomposition of speech, spectrographic
analysis, the acoustic theory of speech production and acoustic phonetic
cues. The second part is based on computational techniques for analysing
the acoustic speech signal including digital time and frequency analyses,
formant synthesis, and the linear predictive coding of speech. There is
also an introductory chapter on the classification of acoustic speech
signals which is relevant to aspects of automatic speech and talker
recognition. Included with the book is a CD-ROM containing extensive speech
corpora, the EMU speech analysis tools, extensions to the X-LISP-STAT
programming language that are adapted to speech analysis, and numerous
exercises that are linked to the major themes of the book and which can be
run on Windows-95 and UNIX platforms.
The book and CD-ROM are intended for use as teaching materials on
undergraduate and postgraduate speech acoustics and experimental phonetics
courses; they are also aimed at researchers from phonetics, linguistics,
computer science, psychology and engineering who wish to gain an
understanding of the basis of speech acoustics and its application to
fields such as speech synthesis and automatic speech recognition.=20
