Core reading (free) Speech and Language Processing (3rd ed. online manuscript) — the best all-in-one reference for CL/NLP (tokenization → tagging → parsing → semantics → ML). Natural Language Processing with Python (NLTK Book) — very practical for corpus work + classic NLP pipelines. NLTK Book Chapter 6 (Text Classification + Naive Bayes) — beginner-friendly + directly usable in Colab. Video / interactive courses (free) Stanford CS224n lecture series (playlist linked from the course page) — deep learning for NLP, very clear lectures. **Hugging Face course — Transformers, datasets, tokenizers, practical workflows. spaCy interactive course — strong for real-world NLP pipelines and rule+ML hybrids.
