Resources on Linguistics and Computational Linguistics

[John F. Sowa]

The website for the Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics has
collections of PDF files of dissertations, conference proceedings,
and "occasional" publications.  Most of them are devoted to strictly
linguistic topics, but many of them deal with computational issues
as well.  There are over ten years of publications (back to 1998),
which are available for free downloads:

For example, the following dissertation describes the Narrator project
for processing texts in the health-care domain.  The primary focus of
the dissertation is the Delilah parser, which analyzes the texts and
translates them to a logical form:

    Flat but not shallow
    Towards flatter representations in deep semantic parsing
    for precise and feasible inferencing
    by Hilke Reckman

    http://www.lotpublications.nl/publish/articles/003214/bookpart.pdf

Following is another dissertation with computational applications:

    What you Know is What you Parse
    How situational knowledge affects sentence processing
    by Nina Versteeg

    http://www.lotpublications.nl/publish/articles/003394/bookpart.pdf

As an example of the "occasional" publications, the following book has
a collection of seven articles on topics related to language evolution:

    Language Evolution:  The View from Restricted Linguistic Systems
    Edited by Rudolf Botha and Henriëtte de Swart

    http://lotos.library.uu.nl/publish/articles/000287/bookpart.pdf

Anyone who is working in linguistics or computational linguistics
can browse through the list of titles and download anything that
sounds interesting.
