        Subject: guides to computational linguistics

> Thanks to everyone who suggested introductory
> guides to activities in computational
> linguistics. In the end I chose the following for
> the target audience of MA students from the humanities:

- Just one more (sorry I'm late):

  Smith, George W. 1991. Computers and Human Language. NY NY: Oxford
  University Press.

It is obviously not as up-to-date as Jurafsky and Martin (who also
maintain a useful web site as accompanying resource) but in my experience
much more accessible to people from the humanities.

Best,
Stefan Werner
