Reviews
"An excellent reference book that provides a wealth of information and enables the experienced reader to enter quickly into new subject areas of computational linguistics and natural language processing. ... The particular strengths of The Oxford Handbook of Computational Linguistics are the comprehensive computation-oriented discussions of the fundamental linguistic issues and the broad coverage of NLP methods and resources. It thus extensively accounts for the theoretical and methodological backgrounds of CL and NLP."--Linguist List 14.1501
