Python for Linguists
Specifically designed for linguists, this book provides an introduction to programming using Python for those with little to no experience of coding. Python is one of the most popular and widely-used programming languages as it's also available for free and runs on any operating system. All examples in the text involve language data and can be adapted or used directly for language research. The text focuses on key language-related issues: searching, text manipulation, text encoding and internet data, providing an excellent resource for language research. More experienced users of Python will also benefit from the advanced chapters on graphical user interfaces and functional programming.
- All concepts are exemplified with code that is included in the text and is available separately
- The book is split into chapters covering basic issues and chapters for more advanced programmers, meaning it is accessible to readers with a range of experience
- All examples include language that specifically targets the intended audience, linguists
