Programming for Linguists by Michael Hammond
A practical introduction to programming for people interested in language. Simple programming expertise is an essential part of many forms of data collection and analysis in these fields. This book undertakes to introduce a completely naive person to the rudiments of Perl.
''Learning to program isn't really hard,' the author claimsTeaching good programming to linguists, however, or to arts and humanities students in general, isn’t really that easy a job either, in practice. This introductory book, clear and concise as it is, should be a helpful tool at the very first stages of such an enterprise." Kwee Tjoe Liong, Universiteit van Amsterdam
"The really strong points of the book are the examples and exercises. These are almost all language-related and include useful, interesting and relevant questions and situations that the reader interested in language research will appreciate." New Zealand Studies in Applied Linguistics
"Surprisingly readable...should be on the bookshelf of any discourse analysist even thinking about tinkering with using computers to automate some portion of their data analysis...the examples and exercises are excellent, as is [Hammond's] exegesis of the examples- slow without becoming tedious." Discourse Studies
