Book excerpt: Beginning in Rome around 600 BC, Latin became the language of the civilized world and remained so for more than two millennia. French, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian are among its progeny and it provides the international vocabulary of law and life science. No known language, including English - itself enriched by Latin words and phrases - has achieved such success and longevity. Tore Janson tells its history from origins to present. Brilliantly conceived and written with the same light touch as his bestselling history of languages, A Natural History of Latin is a masterpiece of adroit synthesis. The author charts the expansion of Latin in the classical world, its renewed importance in the Middle Ages, and its survival into modern times. He shows how spoken and written Latin evolved in different places and its central role in European history and culture. He ends with a concise Latin grammar and lists of Latin words and phrases still in common use. Considered elitist and irrelevant in the second half of the twentieth century and often even banned from schools, Latin is now enjoying a huge revival of interest across Europe, the UK, and the USA. Tore Janson offers persuasive arguments for its value and gives direct access to its fascinating worlds, past and present.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Natural History of Language The present book is what its title implies it is an out line. So far as it is a student's book, it is meant for nothing more than a first general survey of the field. It does not hope to enlighten materially the professional philologist, but only to bring him disciples. Nevertheless, it is no mere compilation. The facts are necessarily in a considerable measure the same facts which have done duty in other works, whether general or special, but the writer trusts that he has employed sufficient independence of thought in weighing various theories against the material, and in offer ing, with all due diffidence, conclusions or speculations of his own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Natural History of Language Considering the increasing interest which is taken by persons of intelligence in all branches of science that deal with human development, it is a matter for some surprise, and certainly for no small regret, that so little of an exoteric nature is written upon the science of language. Philologists are aware how vast an amount of linguistic research is being patiently performed, and what excellent treatises of a particular nature are now and again produced; but for the most part the results hardly spread beyond the sphere of the specially initiated. Professed students of Comparative Philology, to whom the general principles and main facts of the science have become elementary knowledge, are perhaps unaware how close is the corporation to which even that degree of enlightenment is confined. They hardly realise, with Max Muller and Whitney, that there is a world of thoughtful readers who have little time or taste for the minute details or metaphysical speculations of the subject, but who nevertheless desire to obtain some comprehension of the general course of linguistic development and of the chief facts of the distribution and history of language. The age of Volksbücher is rather beginning than ending. The science of language is perhaps not one of the easiest to handle with this class of readers in view.

This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does language change? Why can we speak to and understand our parents but have trouble reading Shakespeare? Why is Chaucer's English of the fourteenth century so different from Modern English of the late twentieth century that the two are essentially different languages? Why are Americans and English 'one people divided by a common language'? And how can the language of Chaucer and Modern English - or Modern British and American English - still be called the same language? The present book provides answers to questions like these in a straightforward way, aimed at the non-specialist, with ample illustrations from both familiar and more exotic languages. Most chapters in this new edition have been reworked, with some difficult passages removed, other passages thoroughly rewritten, and several new sections added, e.g. on the regularity of sound change and its importance for general historical-comparative linguistics. Further, the chapter notes and bibliography have all been updated. The content is engaging, focusing on topics and issues that spark student interest. Its goals are broadly pedagogical and the level and presentation are appropriate for interested beginners with little or no background in linguistics. The language coverage for examples goes well beyond what is usual for books of this kind, with a considerable amount of data from various languages of India.

Download or read book Introduction to Natural Language Processing written by Jacob Eisenstein and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of computational methods for understanding, generating, and manipulating human language, which offers a synthesis of classical representations and algorithms with contemporary machine learning techniques. This textbook provides a technical perspective on natural language processing—methods for building computer software that understands, generates, and manipulates human language. It emphasizes contemporary data-driven approaches, focusing on techniques from supervised and unsupervised machine learning. The first section establishes a foundation in machine learning by building a set of tools that will be used throughout the book and applying them to word-based textual analysis. The second section introduces structured representations of language, including sequences, trees, and graphs. The third section explores different approaches to the representation and analysis of linguistic meaning, ranging from formal logic to neural word embeddings. The final section offers chapter-length treatments of three transformative applications of natural language processing: information extraction, machine translation, and text generation. End-of-chapter exercises include both paper-and-pencil analysis and software implementation. The text synthesizes and distills a broad and diverse research literature, linking contemporary machine learning techniques with the field's linguistic and computational foundations. It is suitable for use in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses and as a reference for software engineers and data scientists. Readers should have a background in computer programming and college-level mathematics. After mastering the material presented, students will have the technical skill to build and analyze novel natural language processing systems and to understand the latest research in the field.

Book excerpt: There can be few subjects of such widespread interest and fascination to anyone who reads as the strange ways of languages. In this wonderfully entertaining and fascinating book, John McWhorter introduces us to 'the natural history of language': from Russonorsk, a creole of Russian and Norwegian once spoken by trading fur trappers to an Australian Aboriginal language which only has three verbs. Witty, brilliant and authoritative, this book is a must for anyone who is interested in language, as sheerly enjoyable as non-fiction gets.
