This book introduces Chinese language-processing issues and techniques
to readers who already have a basic background in natural language
processing (NLP). Since the major difference between Chinese and
Western languages is at the word level, the book primarily focuses on
Chinese morphological analysis and introduces the concept, structure,
and interword semantics of Chinese words.

The following topics are covered: a general introduction to Chinese  
NLP; Chinese characters, morphemes, and words and the characteristics  
of Chinese words that have to be considered in NLP applications;  
Chinese word segmentation; unknown word detection; word meaning and  
Chinese linguistic resources; interword semantics based on word  
collocation and NLP techniques for collocation extraction.
