{"product_id":"mathematical-methods-in-linguistics","title":"Mathematical Methods In Linguistics","description":"Elementary set theory accustoms the students to mathematical  abstraction, includes the standard constructions of relations,  functions, and orderings, and leads to a discussion of the various  orders of infinity. The                            material on logic covers not only the standard  statement logic and first-order predicate logic but includes an  introduction to formal systems, axiomatization, and model theory. The  section on algebra is presented with an                            emphasis on lattices as well  as Boolean and Heyting algebras. Background for recent research in  natural language semantics includes sections on lambda-abstraction and  generalized quantifiers. Chapters on automata theory and                            formal  languages contain a discussion of languages between context-free and  context-sensitive and form the background for much current work in  syntactic theory and computational linguistics. The many exercises not  only                            reinforce basic skills but offer an entry to linguistic  applications of mathematical concepts. \u003cbr\u003e  For upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students in  theoretical linguistics, computer-science students                            with interests in  computational linguistics, logic programming and artificial  intelligence, mathematicians and logicians with interests in  linguistics and the semantics of natural language.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57315985719678,"sku":"NW9789027722447","price":315.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9789027722447.jpg?v=1778702879","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/mathematical-methods-in-linguistics","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
