Overview
Much of the work in modern formal linguistics is concerned with giving mathematically precise accounts of human languages. Such work is particularly suited for research that involves language processing with computers. This book provides an introduction to one particularly popular approach, typed-feature structure formalisms, and includes informal (but rigorous) descriptions of typed-feature structure logic as well as formal definitions. The book includes a CD-ROM of the LKB system software. The CD-ROM is compatible with Windows, MacOS, Linux and Solaris, and includes a full user manual.Synopsis
