Instability and extremism have returned in force, and as Shalom Lappin explains in this worrying book, an upsurge of antisemitism across the political spectrum.Lappin explores in particular the disturbing correlation between the expansion of economic globalization...

Algebraic Structures in Natural Language by bringing together leading researchers from computational and mathematical linguistics, psychology and behavioural science, addresses the learning procedures through which humans acquire natural language, and the way in which they represent its properties.

Deep Learning and Linguistic Representation looks at the application of a variety of deep learning systems to several cognitively interesting NLP tasks. It also considers the extent to which this work illuminates our understanding of the way in which humans acquire and represent linguistic knowledge.

The study of the semantics of natural language has evolved rapidly over the last two decades. Reflecting great strides made in the field, the second edition of The Handbook of Contemporary Semantic Theory presents a detailed and systematic view of cutting-edge research, methodologies, and developments in contemporary theoretical and computational semantics. New and revised contributions, by leading international semanticists, highlight the rad...
