Many NLP tasks have at their core a subtask of extracting the dependencies—who did what to whom—from natural language sentences. This task can be understood as the inverse of the problem solved in different ways by diverse human languages, namely, how to indicate the relationship between different parts of a sentence. Understanding how languages solve the problem can be extremely useful in both feature design and error analysis in the application of machine learning to NLP. Likewise, understanding cross-linguistic variation can be important for the design of MT systems and other multilingual applications. The purpose of this book is to present in a succinct and accessible fashion information about the morphological and syntactic structure of human languages that can be useful in creating more linguistically sophisticated, more language-independent, and thus more successful NLP systems.

“In general Linguistic Fundamentals for Natural Language Processing is a good reference text for linguistics. The layout is very convenient for quick reference. While other introductions to linguistics may be aimed specifically at students of linguistics or a general audience - for example Larry Trask's Introducing Linguistics (Trask and Mayblin 2005) - this work is targeted specifically at researchers in NLP, particularly those from a non-linguistics background. The book generally succeeds in its aims and has a lot to offer.” – Francis Morton Tyers for Machine Translation
