A few weeks ago I posted a request for information on books that talked about parsing principles in some detail. I got more requests on posting my responses than I actually got in responses. However, I am hereby posting those reponses that I did receive. Thanks again to those of you who responded with information.

CS Dept. Status: R _Compiler_Construction:__Theory_and_Practice_ William A. Barrett, Rodney M. Bates, David A. Gustafson, John D. Couch Science Research Associates, 1986 (2nd edition) This is what gave me a lot of the background I needed for an internship I had, wworking on a natural language parsing project that used a CFG to represent a very restricted, but English-sounding, subset of English. It does not address any implementations in terms of languages and operating systems, but it does, I feel, present parsing concepts in a clear way. It is not, however, specific to the parsing of natural languages. -- "The spirit is willing but the flesh is under court injunction."
