Reader Feedback

Interview about the book.

Lambda the Ultimate, 12 feb 2010, commenting on a draft version of the book:
"The introductory chapters are probably going to be unnecessary for LtU readers, but once things get going there is a lot to learn here if you are interested in formal semantics of natural language, especially in the Montague-style. And if this doesn't ring a bell - just search for 'continutation' in the manuscript, and be prepared to meet old friends (you know who you are) in a new context."

Sofy Moradi, Teheran, Dec 18, 2010:
"Let me use this opportunity to give you my feedback on your wonderfully nice job: Computational Semantics with Functional Programming. I haven't read the whole book, but I used parts to get familiar with some complicated ideas (complicated for me, that is) that were expressed so simply and nice that I really enjoyed my reading. Great job!"

Tom Morgan, Australia, Nov 24, 2010:
"I think it is a splendid book and I will be happy to sing its praises on Amazon once I have worked through it."

Daniel de Kok & Harm Brouwer, Groningen, March 22, 2010:
"We are currently reading the draft of 'Computational Semantics with Functional Programming', which we really appreciate for its clarity and approach."
