Report
"This book is for people who want to get some computing done - particularly linguists, behavioral scientists, and scholars in the humanities. I plan to recommend it to my linguistics students who want to learn about computer programming." Michael A. Covington, Artificial Intelligence Center, University of Georgia
"Here finally is an introductory Java programming book that really enables anyone interested in working with language on a computer to learn how to do it. You don t have to be a 'language researcher to use this book - all you need is an interest in language and a willingness to learn the craft of object-oriented programming." D. Terence Langendoen, University of Arizona
" Surprisingly readable...should be on the bookshelf of any discourse analysist even thinking about tinkering with using computers to automate some portion of their data analysis... structured and written for maximum learning and understanding of the relevance of different programming features for a linguist." Discourse Studies
