Statistical Language Learning (Language, Speech, and Communication)
There are more complete textbooks now that cover everything in this book in more detail, but this was one of the first entries in the field, and contains concise explanations of basic statistical language modeling, introducing you to n-grams, Hidden Markov Models, Probabilistic Context Free Grammars, and so on. It also has the advantage of being a very small paperback, if you want a light reference to carry around with you.
