I have just taken over as Book Review Editor of the Journal Machine
Translation, published quaterly by Kluwer Academic Publishers and I am
looking out for potential reviewers.
The policy for selecting books for review is catholic: as a
discipline, Machine Translation is at the intersection of several
areas of Linguistics and Computer Science, but the interests of those
involved tend to be broad -- the union of the areas, rather than the
intersection -- and the choice of books reviewed should reflect these
wide interests.
Particular areas of interest include Theoretical Linguistics,
Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, (including Logic), Pragmatics,
descriptive studies of languages and all areas of Mathematical and
Computational Linguistics. Work on Speech Processing is also of
interest.
If you are interested in reviewing a book, or suggesting a book for
review, please contact me.
The following is a list of the books currently awaiting review. An
