     USING COMPUTERS IN LINGUISTICS:A Practical Guide

     Using Computers in Linguistics provides a non-technical introduction
     to recent developments in linguistic computing and offers specific
     guidance to the linguist or language professional who wishes to take
     advantage of them. Written by expert contributors, each essay focuses
     on a different aspect of the interaction of computing and linguistics.

     Features include:a glossary of technical terms, including acronyms;
     chapter appendices which list and review relevant resources, such as
     books, software and URLs; more extensive and regularly updated
     appendices of resources on the World Wide Web:
