A computational theory of writing systems

TL;DR: First textbook of its kind, Mathematical Linguistics introduces the mathematical foundations of linguistics to computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians interested in natural language processing.

TL;DR: This article presents a new tool, WFSC, for creating, manipulating, and applying weighted finite state automata, which inherits some powerful features from Xerox's non-weighted XFST tool and represents a continuation ofXerox's work in the field of finite state Automata over two decades.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors systematically catalog phonological, morphological, and morphophonological factors that lead to spelling-pronunciation mismatch in the orthographic form (without schwas) and the underlying form without schwas.

TL;DR: The authors considers the disciplinary framework of the Critique of the Ideographic Myth, tracing its roots in a prewar Sinological debate (the Boodberg-Creel controversy) and in Leonard Bloomfield's famous dismissal of writing, and locating it within the postwar field of Asian Studies.

TL;DR: Since this classic work in phonology was published in 1968, there has been no other book that gives as broad a view of the subject, combining generally applicable theoretical contributions with analysis of the details of a single language.

TL;DR: The proposed measure, the association ratio, estimates word association norms directly from computer readable corpora, making it possible to estimate norms for tens of thousands of words.

TL;DR: A parallel distributed processing model of visual word recognition and pronunciation is described, which consists of sets of orthographic and phonological units and an interlevel of hidden units and which early in the learning phase corresponds to that of children acquiring word recognition skills.
