"The overall evaluation is therefore definitely very good: the work is solid, complete and definitely an important reference for NLP and CL." (Linguistlist, 14 January 2014) "Altogether, this Handbookcovers a wide variety of topics in NLP and CL and, is of particular use to researchers in the field of MT. On a more general note, graduate students or novice researchers can utilise this book as a comprehensive starting point for their area of interest within NLP or CL ... All in all, this is very well compiled book, which effectively balances the width and depth of theories and applications in two very diverse yet closely related fields of language research."
