Do you have a favorite you can recommend?
- mothcamp 4y agoIn addition to Jurafsky and Martin (https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/ https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/), I also like Emily Bender's book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18128399-linguistic-fundamentals-for-natural-language-processing https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18128399-linguistic-fund... Bender's book is NOT an end-to-end text though imo. It's more a central jumping off point. So you can read about a concept and if it sounds interesting, search more about it.

- sam_lowry_ 4y agoElements by Tesnière. I am not kidding, there is a shitload of knowledge there, largely forgotten by the time NLP merged with CompSci. Jurafsky and Martin, Manning and Schutze are great books for computer scientists but these do not teach about the language.
