Review from previous edition 'A highly stimulating and impressive book which should be found in every library and every linguistics department. I strongly recommend it.' * International Journal of Lexicography * 'An excellent reference book that provides a wealth of information and enables the experienced reader to enter quickly into new subject areas of computational linguistics and natural language processing. . . . The particular strengths of the OHCL are the comprehensive computation-oriented discussion of the fundamental linguistic issues and the broad coverage of NLP methods and resources.' * Linguist List *
