Phd Theses in Computational and Constraint Based Linguistics

This page provides access to soft copies of some of the Essex PhD theses in the area of Computational Linguistics or `Constraint Based' Linguistics that have been produced in recent years. If you produced a thesis that is not listed here, and you'd like it listed, please let me know.

They are listed by date, most recent last.

In some cases the thesis is held locally, in others it is a link to a remote site. In the former case the links really should work (let me know if they don't). In the latter case, it would be best to contact the author of the thesis if you have problems.

All Essex University Theses are accessible in the University Library, and via Inter-library Loans.
