Ask HN: Book recommendations for Natural Language Understanding

5 points by kovac ↗ HN
I'm looking for text books in the field of natural language understanding. I'm looking for theory/algorithms using classical theory (first-order logic, statistical models) rather than machine learning. One example book I'm going through right now is Natural Language Understanding by James Allen. Looking for similar books. Thanks.
