DATA-ORIENTED PARSING
Rens Bod, Remko Scha and Khalil Sima'an (editors)
CSLI Publications, 2003
Distributed by University of Chicago Press
Paper $35.00, 1-57586-436-3, 424 pp.

This is an up-to-date handbook on Data-Oriented Parsing. It contains an
introductory tutorial on DOP and gives a state-of-the-art overview of
Data-Oriented Parsing and related models. The book introduces a number of
new probability models and gives efficient algorithms for parsing with all
subtrees from an annotated corpus. After surveying extensions to the basic
DOP model, the volume concludes with a close study of some applications
that use DOP as a backbone.

PROBABILISTIC LINGUISTICS
Rens Bod, Jennifer Hay and Stefanie Jannedy (editors)
The MIT Press, 2003
ISBN 0-262-52338-8, 448 pp.
Paper $35.00/£23.50

This book presents a comprehensive introduction to probabilistic
approaches to linguistic inquiry. It covers the application of
probabilistic techniques to phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
language acquisition, psycholinguistics, historical linguistics and
sociolinguistics. It also includes a tutorial on elementary probability
theory and stochastic grammars. The chapters of this book investigate the
probabilistic nature of the various linguistic subfields, each covered by
a specialist in the field.
