Why link to the pdf?

The webpage https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/ links directly to the PDF, and gives context and other download options. It's not so easy to go back from the PDF to the webpage.

Mods: I'd change the link, and the title to "...3rd Edition draft".

Everyone else: please stop linking to PDFs when there is an obvious html page to link to instead.

Sure thing, we've updated the link from https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/ed3book.pdf.
Good point, moreover it would be easy to read the simple html than wait for a minute to load the PDF
