Abstract

This review is dedicated to the book Linguistica computazionale by Elisabetta Ježek and Rachele Sprugnoli, which serves as a concise and comprehensive introduction to the use of computational tools in linguistic research and, more broadly, in natural language processing. The eight chapters of this volume provide a succinct overview of a wide range of disciplines, activities, approaches, tools, and resources, making it particularly suitable for beginners in the field. Special attention is given to the role of artificial intelligence throughout the book.
