Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specialists in quantitative linguistics the world over have recourse to a solid and universal methodology. These days, their methods and mathematical models must also respond to new communication phenomena and the flood of data produced daily. While various disciplines (computer science, media science) have different ways of processing this onslaught of information, the linguistic approach is arguably the most relevant and effective. This book includes recent results from many renowned contemporary practitioners in the field. Our target audiences are academics, researchers, graduate students, and others involved in linguistics, digital humanities, and applied mathematics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indispensable resource for everyone who cares about the Jewish future. “Every passage of Torah has the potential to be someone’s personal story and teaching—and that definitely includes you as a teenager. If you read these stories, and if you really let these holy texts into your mind and into your soul, your life will be deeper and richer, and even happier.” —from the Introduction Young people need to be included in the struggle for meaning, for the right questions to ask and the search for useful and relevant answers. This is the book that has been missing from the ever-expanding bookshelf of Torah commentaries—a collection of messages on each Torah portion, specifically for today’s teens. It shows them how each Torah portion contains worlds of meaning for them, for what they are going through in their lives, and how they can shape their Jewish identity as they enter adulthood. Addressing the concerns of young adults, it shows how the Torah can help teens deal with issues including: Interpersonal relationships Social justice Sexuality and gender issues Personal ethics Responsibility to family Community and the Jewish people Body image Tattoos Community service The meaning of faith Authority and rebellion The role of ritual Personal theology Prayer Civility Living safely Dealing with disabilities Challenges of eating morally This groundbreaking spiritual resource is truly transdenominational—including the insights of over 100 Jews who identify as Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist, Renewal, post-denominational and “just Jewish.” They are rabbis, cantors, educators, authors and community leaders.

Book Synopsis Forms and Degrees of Repetition in Texts by : Gabriel Altmann
Download or read book Forms and Degrees of Repetition in Texts written by Gabriel Altmann and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume presents objective methods to detect and analyse various forms of repetitions. Repetition of textual elements is more than a superficial phenomenon. It may even be considered as constitutive for units and relations in a text: on a primary level when no other way exists to establish a unit – as in a musical composition (a motif can be recognised as such only after at least one repetition) – and on a secondary, artistic level, where repetition is a consequence of the transfer of the equivalence principle from the paradigmatic axis to the syntagmatic one as showed by R. Jakobson. The analysis of repetitive elements and structures in texts with objective mathematical means can serve several practical and theoretical purposes, among them: Characterisation of texts by means of parameters (measures, indicators) as taken from established mathematical statistics or specifically constructed ones in individual cases. Comparison of texts on the basis of their quantitative characteristics and classification of the texts by the results. Research for the laws of text, which control the mechanisms connected to text creation. As a remote aim, the construction of a theory of text consisting of a system of text laws. The final attempt of every possible quantitative text analysis is the construction of a text theory. The book illustrates this on examples of such laws and corresponding empirical tests.
Book Synopsis Word Sense Selection in Texts by : Oi Yee Kwong
Download or read book Word Sense Selection in Texts written by Oi Yee Kwong and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Early systems for word sense disambiguation (WSD) often depended on individual tailor-made lexical resources, hand-coded with as much lexical information as needed, but of severely limited vocabulary size. Recent studies tend to extract lexical information from a variety of existing resources (e.g. machine-readable dictionaries, corpora) for broad coverage. However, this raises the issue of how to combine the information from different resources. Thus while different types of resource could make different contribution to WSD, studies to date have not shown what contribution they make, how they should be combined, and whether they are equally relevant to all words to be disambiguated. This thesis proposes an Integrated Model as a framework to study the inter-relatedness of three major parameters in WSD: Lexical Resource, Contextual Information, and Nature of Target Words. We argue that it is their interaction which shapes the effectiveness of any WSD system. A generalised, structurally-based sense-mapping algorithm was designed to combine various types of lexical resource. This enables information from these resources to be used simultaneously and compatibly, while respecting their distinctive structures. In studying the effect of context on WSD, different semantic relations available from the combined resources were used, and a recursive filtering algorithm was designed to overcome combinatorial explosion. We then investigated, from two directions, how the target words themselves could affect the usefulness of different types of knowledge. In particular, we modelled WSD with the cloze test format, i.e. as texts with blanks and all senses for one specific word as alternative choices for filling the blank. A full-scale combination of WordNet and Roget's Thesaurus was done, linking more than 30,000 senses. Using these two resources in combination, a range of disambiguation tests was done on more than 60,000 noun instances from corpus texts of different types, and 60 blanks from real cloze texts. Results show that combining resources is useful for enriching lexical information, and hence making WSD more effective though not completely. Also, different target words make different demand on contextual information, and this interaction is closely related to text types. Future work is suggested for expanding the analysis on target nature and making the combination of disambiguation evidence sensitive to the requirements of the word being disambiguated."
Book Synopsis Sequences in Language and Text by : George K. Mikros
Download or read book Sequences in Language and Text written by George K. Mikros and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The edited volume Sequences in Language and Text is the first collection of original research in the area of the quantitative analysis of sequentially organized linguistic data. Linguistic sequences are extremely useful textual structures in almost all areas of Language Technology. Character and word n-grams are by far the most successful features in text classification tasks such as authorship identification, text categorization, genre classification, sentiment analysis etc. Furthermore character linguistic sequences are the basis for linguistic modeling and subsequent applications such as speech recognition, language identification etc. In addition to the above language technology oriented research, the present volume aims to give insight to the theoretical value of linguistic sequences. Sequences in texts can be produced by a number of different factors, either external to the linguistic system or by its own grammatical structure. This volume hosts contributions which will analyze linguistic sequences using quantitative methods under the synergetic theoretical framework that can explain their role in the linguistic system.
Book Synopsis Common and Uncommon Quotes: A Theory and History of Epigraphs by : Jared A. Griffin
Download or read book Common and Uncommon Quotes: A Theory and History of Epigraphs written by Jared A. Griffin and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Common and Uncommon Quotes: A Theory and History of Epigraphs' is a prolegomenon to the study of epigraphic paratextuality. Building on the work of Gerard Genette’s paratextual studies, this volume contextualizes and traces the practice of epigraphy in Anglophone literary history, from the fifteenth to the early twentieth century. This study explores how epigraphs are used by author-functions as a hermeneutic for their text and to establish ethos with their audience, and how that paratextual relationship changed as publishing opportunities and literacy rates grew over four centuries. The first broad-reaching study of this kind, 'Common and Uncommon Quotes' seeks to understand how epigraphs work: through their privilege on the page, their appeal to conjured ideas of the past, and their calls to citizenship.

Book Synopsis Register Variation Online by : Douglas Biber
Download or read book Register Variation Online written by Douglas Biber and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While other books focus on special internet registers, like tweets or texting, no previous study describes the full range of everyday registers found on the searchable web. These are the documents that readers encounter every time they do a Google search, from registers like news reports, product reviews, travel blogs, discussion forums, FAQs, etc. Based on analysis of a large, near-random corpus of web documents, this monograph provides comprehensive situational, lexical, and grammatical descriptions of those registers. Beginning with a coding of each document in the corpus, the description identifies the registers that are especially common on the searchable web versus those that are less commonly found. Multi-dimensional analysis is used to describe the overall patterns of linguistic variation among web registers, while the second half of the book provides an in-depth description of each individual register, including analyses of situational contexts and communicative purposes, together with the typical lexical and grammatical characteristics associated with those contexts.

Book Synopsis Dating Undated Medieval Charters by : Michael Gervers
Download or read book Dating Undated Medieval Charters written by Michael Gervers and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2002 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the millions of medieval charters surviving in European archives and repositories were written without any reference to a date of issue. The proliferation of undated charters in England and Normandy indicates that the custom was especially peculiar to lands under Norman rule, but charters issued by major religious houses are often also undated. The DEEDS Project at the University of Toronto has developed a computerised methodology for dating charters, relying on analysis of vocabulary, syntax and formulae. In this volume an international group of scholars concerned with the problem of charter chronology consider the potential of the computerised methodology compared to other more traditional methods of dating, such as identification of names, changing in wording and address, and handwriting. Discussion also touches on regional differences in the production, use and distribution of charters, and on ways both manual and mechanical to date and analyse the content of large numbers of them. MICHAEL GERVERS is Director of the DEEDS Project at the University of Toronto, Canada.

Book Synopsis A Cultural History of Chemistry in the Middle Ages by : Charles Burnett
Download or read book A Cultural History of Chemistry in the Middle Ages written by Charles Burnett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cultural History of Chemistry in the Middle Ages covers the period from 600 to 1500 in European and Islamic cultures. Arabic theories and terminology for the science of matter were introduced into the West and became known as 'alchemy'. Based in experiment and innovation – and bound up in networks of mining, manufacturing, trade and commerce – alchemical practice largely focused on the production of new substances through various processes. At the same time, alchemy was deeply theoretical, exploring the development of mineralogy, the perfection of corruptible matter, the prolongation of life, and the cure of diseases. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Chemistry presents the first comprehensive history from the Bronze Age to today, covering all forms and aspects of chemistry and its ever-changing social context. The themes covered in each volume are theory and concepts; practice and experiment; laboratories and technology; culture and science; society and environment; trade and industry; learning and institutions; art and representation. Charles Burnett is Professor of the History of Islamic Influences in Europe at the Warburg Institute, UK. Sébastien Moureau is Assistant Professorat the FNRS, attached to the University of Louvain, Belgium. Volume 2 in the Cultural History of Chemistry set. General Editors: Peter J. T. Morris, University College London, UK, and Alan Rocke, Case Western Reserve University, USA.
Download or read book Sext Ed written by Joseph Oluwole and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools need to be able to regulate sexting, but at what point are administrators infringing on students' rights? Is teenage sexting a violation of child pornography laws? This book tackles these tough issues and others. In several states, teenagers who engage in "sexting" could be in violation of child pornography laws—and if convicted of such, teens could end up on sex offender lists with rapists and child molesters. The authors of this text examine this thorny issue, arguing that teenagers who have engaged in consensual sexting should not automatically be punished under child pornography laws. Equally important: the book presents in-depth analysis of the issue of school regulations on sexting pursuant to the Free Speech Clause. This book is the first volume devoted to the topic of consensual student sexting, and how the First Amendment may apply to this unique 21st-century phenomenon. It provides an overview of sexting laws in the United States and does a thorough job of discussing the First Amendment issues that all policymakers, educators, and child advocates should be aware of.
