Dependency-based methods for syntactic parsing have become  
increasingly popular in natural language processing in recent years.  
This book gives a thorough introduction to the methods that are most  
widely used today. After an introduction to dependency grammar and  
dependency parsing, followed by a formal characterization of the  
dependency parsing problem, the book surveys the three major classes  
of parsing models that are in current use: transition-based, graph- 
based, and grammar-based models. It continues with a chapter on  
evaluation and one on the comparison of different methods, and it  
closes with a few words on current trends and future prospects of  
dependency parsing. The book presupposes a knowledge of basic concepts  
in linguistics and computer science, as well as some knowledge of  
parsing methods for constituency-based representations.
