Allen's book is a classical introduction to the realm of natural language understanding. The book starts with an introduction to the theory and evaluation of natural language understanding systems, and moves onto addressing a number of issues central to designing computer systems that can understand natural languages. These topics include grammars and parsing, semantic interpretation and ambiguity resolution, and incoporating context and world knowledge. Three appendices deal with introducing Logic and Model Theoretic Semantics, Symbolic Computation and how to apply NL understanding to speech recognition systems.This book was recommended by Randolph Chung <rc42@cornell.edu>
