Corpus-based methods will be found at the heart of many language and speech processing systems. This book provides an introduction to these technologies describing basic statistical modeling techniques for language and speech, the use of Hidden Markov Models in continuous speech recognition, and the development of dialogue systems.

This is the first book to treat two areas of speech synthesis: natural language processing and the inherent problems it presents for speech synthesis; The book will be of interest to researchers and students in phonetics and speech communication, in both academia and industry.

This collection of papers takes linguists to the leading edge of techniques in generative lexicon theory, the linguistic composition methodology that arose from the imperative to provide a compositional semantics for the contextual modifications in meaning that emerge in real linguistic usage.

Researchers in a number of disciplines deal with large text sets requiring both text management and text analysis.

This book is a collection of papers by leading researchers in computational semantics.
