Linguistic Foundations: The Structure of Language
At the core of natural language processing lies the study of language itself. Morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics provide the theoretical scaffolding that enables computation to model linguistic structure. Morphology concerns how words are formed from morphemes—the smallest units of meanin...

From Words to Corpora: Representing and Disambiguating Meaning
Words are the atoms of linguistic computation, and their representation defines how machines perceive meaning. Early chapters explore how lexical resources—dictionaries, WordNet, corpora—provide mappings from words to meanings. But human words are marvelously ambiguous: a single word like "bank" can...
