This is a deeply impressive book by a prominent linguist. As always, Professor Halliday's contributions are pervasively readable and stimulating. Jan Svartvik, Emeritus Professor, Lund University, Sweden. Throughout his careerProfessor Hallidayhas continued to address the issue of the application of linguistic scholarship to Computational and Quantitative Studies. The sixth volume in the collected works of Professor M. A. K. Halliday includes works that span the last five decades, coveringdevelopments in machine translation and corpus linguistics. The principles and methods outlined in these papers remain as relevant today as when they were first published, continuing to point the way forward in an endeavour where success depends more on advancing our knowledge of language than machines.

'... a major enterprise comparable to a grand retrospective of the paintings of some prominent artist of a distinctive school.'Roy Harris, Times Literary Supplement
"There are a number of intriguing ideas and comments to be found in the papers....Also there are some interesting speculations about how language changes that manifest themselves initially through probabilities might eventually lead to changes in the underlying systems themselves."Chris Mellish, Journal of Computational Linguistics
