Paperback. Condition: Good. Language is a sophisticated tool which we use to communicate in a multitude of ways. Updated and expanded in its second edition, this book introduces language and linguistics - presenting language in all its amazing complexity while systematically guiding you through the basics. The reader will emerge with an appreciation of the diversity of the world's languages, as well as a deeper understanding of the structure of human language, the ways it is used, and its broader social and cultural context. Part I is devoted to the nuts and bolts of language study - speech sounds, sound patterns, sentence structure, and meaning - and includes chapters dedicated to the functional aspects of language: discourse, prosody, pragmatics, and language contact. The fourteen language profiles included in Part II reveal the world's linguistic variety while expanding on the similarities and differences between languages. Using knowledge gained from Part I, the reader can explore how language functions when speakers use it in daily interaction. With a step-by-step approach that is reinforced with well-chosen illustrations, case studies, and study questions, readers will gain understanding and analytical skills that will only enrich their ongoing study of language and linguistics.…

Hardcover. Condition: gut. 1990. This work is Volume II of a two-volume monograph on the theory of deterministic parsing of context-free grammars. Volume I, "Languages and Parsing" (Chapters 1 to 5), was an introduction to the basic concepts of formal language theory and context-free parsing. Volume II (Chapters 6 to 10) contains a thorough treat ment of the theory of the two most important deterministic parsing methods: LR(k) and LL(k) parsing. Volume II is a continuation of Volume I; together these two volumes form an integrated work, with chapters, theorems, lemmas, etc. numbered consecutively. Volume II begins with Chapter 6 in which the classical con structions pertaining to LR(k) parsing are presented. These include the canonical LR(k) parser, and its reduced variants such as the LALR(k) parser and the SLR(k) parser. The grammarclasses for which these parsers are deterministic are called LR(k) grammars, LALR(k) grammars and SLR(k) grammars; properties of these grammars are also investigated in Chapter 6. A great deal of attention is paid to the rigorous development of the theory: detailed mathematical proofs are provided for most of the results presented. This is the second volume of a two-volume set representing an up-to-date reference work on the theory of deterministic parsing of context-free grammars. Volume I is an introduction to the basic concepts of formal language theory and context-free parsing. Volume II contains a thorough treatment of the theory of the two most important deterministic parsing methods. The two volumes together form an integrated work with chapters, theorems, lemmas, etc. numbered consecutively. The emphasis is on LR(k) and LL(k) methods, and special attention is paid to the efficient implementation of LR(k) and LL(k) parsers. Construction algorithms for parsers are derived from general graph-theoretic methods. Complexity questions about parsable grammars are analysed. The work can be used as a textbook in graduate and senior undergraduate courses on parsing theory and compiler design. In englischer Sprache. 427 pages. 17,8 x 2,5 x 25,4 cm.…
