Once again, we are posting notices of new books and/or software
which are available for discussion.  If you would like to lead
a discussion on one of the available works, you should contact
     Daniel Seely at:  dseely at emunix.emich.edu
We expect that commentary will be informal and interactive,
and we hope that the author(s) of the works will join in.

COMPUTATIONAL LING
 
Dougherty, Ray C. (New York University); Natural Language Computing: An
English Generative Language in Prolog; xlvi, 349 pp. + 3.5" IBM diskett of
freeware Prolog Interpreters for IBM-PC and Macintosh plus all programs for
IBM, Macintosh, Quintus, and C-Prolog. ISBN: 0-8058-1525-2 cloth $69.95;
paper $36.00. Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.
 
A follow-the-dots approach aimed at a reader who knows no Prolog and little
about Chomsky's generative grammer. Beginners acquire the ability to write
programs to encode their own problems into constraint based logical grammer
formalisms starting from scratch.  All linguistic (Minimalist Theorty) and
Prolog terms are defined using 75 full page diagrams, 100 programs, and 105
session files.
