This book is an ideal starting point for linguists who are approaching computer programming for the first time. Assuming no background knowledge of programming, the author introduces basic ideas and techniques needed and helps readers to develop their understanding of electronic texts. Practical examples are designed to help the reader to identify basic issues in handling language data,conduct simple analyses in morphology/morphosyntax and phonotactics, create frequency lists from corpus materials, to gather basic descriptive statistics on texts and to design graphical user interfaces for writing more efficient andeasy-to-use analysis tools. Two different types of exercise help readers to either learn to interpret and understand illustrative sample code, or to develop algorithmic thinking and solution strategies through turning a series of instructions into sample programs.
