Ruslan Mitkov is Professor of Computational Linguistics and Language Engineering at the University of Wolverhampton, where he is also Director of the Research Institute for Information and Language Processing. He has worked in the fields of Natural Language Processing, computational linguistics, corpus linguistics, machine translation, translation technology, and related areas since the early 1980s. He is a Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany; Marie Curie Fellow and Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon, France; and Vice-Chair of the EC-funded programme 'Future and Emerging Technologies'.

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.'
