Much of the work in modern formal linguistics is concerned with creating mathematically precise accounts of human languages—accounts that are particularly useful in research involving language processing with computers. Implementing Typed Feature Structure Grammars provides a student-level introduction to the most popular approach to this issue, and includes software that allows users to experiment with modeling different aspects of language.

This review is from: Implementing Typed Feature Structure Grammars (Paperback)

The author strikes a nice balance between informality and rigor, and has a very approachable style of presentation. The book is especially useful if you are interested in the Linguistic Knowledge Building (LKB) system, developed by the author and her colleagues.
