Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the realm of human knowledge, language stands as a captivating enigma, a complex system of symbols and rules that enables us to communicate, express ourselves, and shape our understanding of the world. The field of computational linguistics seeks to unravel this enigma by harnessing the power of computing to analyze, understand, and generate human language.

This book, "The Enigmatic Bridge: Computing and Linguistics," embarks on an enlightening journey through the intersection of these two disciplines, exploring the myriad ways in which computational tools and methodologies are revolutionizing linguistic research and practice. Delve into the depths of natural language processing, where algorithms empower computers to comprehend and produce human language, opening up new possibilities for communication and information retrieval. Discover the intricacies of computational lexicography, where digital resources transform the study of words and their meanings, enabling the creation of more comprehensive and up-to-date dictionaries.

Explore the frontiers of computational syntax, where techniques unravel the structure of sentences, paving the way for advanced applications such as machine translation and grammar checking. Uncover the mysteries of computational semantics, where computers delve into the realm of meaning, extracting and representing the intricate web of semantic relationships that underlie human language.

"The Enigmatic Bridge: Computing and Linguistics" is an invaluable resource for linguists, computer scientists, and anyone fascinated by the interplay between language and technology. Its comprehensive and accessible approach makes it an ideal companion for students, researchers, and practitioners seeking to navigate the ever-changing landscape of computational linguistics.

With its engaging narrative and thought-provoking insights, this book invites you to embark on an intellectual adventure, where the enigmatic bridge between computing and linguistics reveals the profound depths of human communication and cognition.

Digital Grooming - Discourses of...

Nuria Lorenzo-Dus

Illicit digital activity is a substantial and growing problem. Extremists' use of social media over the past decade or so has raised increasing concern among governments and media corporations alike. In Digital Grooming Nuria Lorenzo-Dus analyzes manipulation practices in digital spaces that are situated at, or beyond, the boundaries of law. Lorenzo-Dus identifies and examines in detail the online discourse of adults luring children for sexual abuse and exploitation (digital sexual grooming); extreme ideology groups aligning others to their views (digital ideological grooming); and drug dealers soliciting business in crypto markets (digital commercial grooming). With sophisticated style and stance analyses of large and varied datasets, the book reveals that digital sexual, ideological, and commercial grooming practices have much in common. Three stances—expertise, openness, and avidity—scaffold this manipulative work, which constructs groomers and their targets as sharing a homogenous identity. 
 
 
 
By shedding new light on grooming practices, this book provides a key resource for discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, communication, and media studies, as well as for practitioners aiming to counter online grooming through policy changes, detection software, and prevention-focused training to promote digital civility and safety.
