The current volume complements other textbooks available now by offering an overview of MTT, providing a survey of the current state of Spanish NLP research, introducing the field of CL from the linguistic point of view (explaining what specific linguistic knowledge is involved in each "CL product" rather than introducing the techniques used in CL/NLP to create that product), providing plenty of examples and exercises, and making this book freely available on-line.
those using this textbook in the classroom should consider providing supplementary materials that discuss the fundamental algorithms and techniques for speech and language processing as well as certain linguistic areas, such as phonetics and pragmatics.
