In this chapter, we summarize the contrasts and points of contact between aspects of current practice in theoretical and computational linguistics. Our goal is to present motivations for, techniques for, and benefits of the corpus-based approach to computational linguistics, emphasizing broad, shallow, robust statistically-based strategies for language comprehension that are linguistically informed.

At this online appendix, you'll find pointers to all sorts of resources on corpus-based computational linguistics: software, literature, corpora, and conferences. We intend to keep this site updated, so if you have recommendations for resources we haven't included, please mail us.
