Abstract:
Specifically designed for linguists, this book provides an introduction to
programming using Python for those with little to no experience of coding.
Python is one of the most popular and widely-used programming languages as
it's also available for free and runs on any operating system. All examples in
the text involve language data and can be adapted or used directly for
language research. The text focuses on key language-related issues: searching,
text manipulation, text encoding and internet data, providing an excellent
resource for language research. More experienced users of Python will also
benefit from the advanced chapters on graphical user interfaces and functional
programming.
All concepts are exemplified with code that is included in the text and is
available separately
The book is split into chapters covering basic issues and chapters for more
advanced programmers, meaning it is accessible to readers with a range of
experience
All examples include language that specifically targets the intended audience,
linguists
