Programming for Linguists: Java (tm) Technology for Language Researchers
Michael Hammond, University of Arizona

Simple programming expertise is an essential part of many forms of
data collection and analysis for modern linguists and related language
professionals. Programming for Linguists: Java(tm) Technology for
Language Researchers is a practical introduction to programming using
the Java Programming Language, a full-powered language with complete
graphics capability that can be run on any computer.

Programming for Linguists includes over a hundred carefully
constructed sample programs that introduce new concepts simply but
also accomplish tasks necessary for anyone who works with language as
data. Many of these programs can be used immediately with minimal or
no modification. The text is accompanied by exercises, and all the
programs are available at http://www.u.arizona.edu/~hammond.
