语料库语言学和计算语言学为促进自然语言处理技术快速发展的两门基础学科。《英语语料库与自动语法分析》系这两个领域的一本专著，它以国际英语语料库为背景，着重探讨大型语料库的语法分析，尤其是英语口语材料给计算机自动处理带来的一系列难题。书中涉及基于概率的自动词类识别和基于实例的自动句法分析这两大技术，并有专门章节来探讨句法分析的评测问题，对AUTASYS和The Survey Parser这两个软件系统的实际表现进行了深入的量化评测。此外，本书还探讨了介词短语的自动分析，特别是这类短语的句法功能的自动判定，并对自动语法分析在语音合成及语音识别中的应用做了相应的说明。
本书的主要思路就是将已经分析过的语料库变成一个句法知识库，从中提取短语结构语法规则，并通过基于实例的手段，在知识库中为待分析语句提取一棵最佳句法树。本书对上述各个部分的研究进行了详细的描述，对系统的实际表现进行了深入的量化评测，并有专门章节来探讨句法分析的评测问题。除此之外，还探讨了介词短语的自动分析，特别是这类短语的句法功能的自动判定，因为这一研究和句法相似度分析有着密切的关系。同时，本书还就自动语法分析在语音合成及语音识别中的应用做了相应的介绍和说明，希望对读者能有所帮助。
