Newspapers & Magazines
"...a broad introduction is also needed by Bachelor's students in linguistics, and by those studying to become language consultants, translators, and so on. This book would then be the natural choice." (Computational Linguistics, 2013)

"In general, I can certainly recommend "Language and Computers" as a broad introduction to language technology aimed at the general audience and at students who are curious about modern language technology." (Mach Translat, 1 March 2013)
