Index.

"This book is for people who want to get some computing done
- particularly linguists, behavioral scientists, and scholars
in the humanities. I plan to recommend it to my linguistics
students who want to learn about computer programming." Michael
A. Covington, Artificial Intelligence Center, University of
Georgia

"Here finally is an introductory Java programming book that
really enables anyone interested in working with language on a
computer to learn how to do it. You don't have to be a
'language researcher' to use this book - all you need
is an interest in language and a willingness to learn the craft of
object-oriented programming." D. Terence Langendoen, University
of Arizona

"Surprisingly readable...should be on the bookshelf of
any discourse analysist even thinking about tinkering with using
computers to automate some portion of their data analysis...
structured and written for maximum learning and understanding of
the relevance of different programming features for a linguist."
