Dick Grune, Ceriel J. H. Jacobs, "Parsing Techniques: A Practical Guide,2 Ed"
ISBN: 038720248X | edition 2007 | PDF | 684 pages | 2 mb
This second edition presents new developments and discoveries that have been made in the field. Parsing techniques have grown considerably in importance, both in computational linguistics where such parsers are the only option, and computer science, where advanced compilers often use general CF parsers. Parsing techniques provide a solid basis for compiler construction and contribute to all existing software: enabling Web browsers to analyze HTML pages and PostScript printers to analyze PostScript. Some of the more advanced techniques are used in code generation in compilers and in data compression.
