This is the thick book with the white cover, right?  There's another,
thinner book with a black cover.  The title eludes me at the moment...
"Introduction to Natural Language Processing" or something like that. 
I found the explanations therein to be a bit easier to understand.  The
OP might want to check out both if he's looking for an introductory
textbook.
