Aspects of Automatic Text Analysis

From the reviews: "The book considers recent developments in automatic text analysis, and provides an overview of linguistic modelling ... . As a scientific book from a respected publisher, it naturally is fully referenced at the end of each chapter. The book is of a decent font-size, clear black (not grey!) print, and is easy on the eyes ... . Its intended audience is students and researchers in soft computing and text analysis ... ."
