Evaluating the Irregularity of Natural Languages
In the present work, we quantify the irregularity of different European languages belonging to four linguistic families (Romance, Germanic, Uralic and Slavic) and an artificial language (Esperanto). We modified a well-known method to calculate the approximate and sample entropy of written texts. We find differences in the degree of irregularity between the families and our method, which is base...
متن کاملThe irregularity and total irregularity of Eulerian graphs
For a graph G, the irregularity and total irregularity of G are defined as irr(G)=∑_(uv∈E(G))〖|d_G (u)-d_G (v)|〗 and irr_t (G)=1/2 ∑_(u,v∈V(G))〖|d_G (u)-d_G (v)|〗, respectively, where d_G (u) is the degree of vertex u. In this paper, we characterize all connected Eulerian graphs with the second minimum irregularity, the second and third minimum total irregularity value, respectively.
متن کاملThe Openness of Natural Languages
Paul M. Postal, New York University e-mail: [email protected] Preface It might seem plausible to the non-specialist who thinks about natural language (NL) that a given NL, NLx, permits one to report linguistic performances, both performances of NLx elements and those of NLs distinct from NLx. By ‘reporting linguistic performances’ I refer to nothing more arcane than forming statements like ‘A...

within the components of communicative competence, a special emphasis is put on the “rules of politeness,” specifically the politeness strategies (brown and levinson, 1978) that speakers deploy when performing the request speech act. this is because the degree of imposition that making a request places upon one’s interlocutor(s) has been seen to be influenced by several factors among which, as ...
Evaluating the usability of natural language query languages and interfaces to Semantic Web knowledge bases
The need to make the contents of the Semantic Web accessible to end-users becomes increasingly pressing as the amount of information stored in ontology-based knowledge bases steadily increases. Natural language interfaces (NLIs) provide a familiar and convenient means of query access to Semantic Web data for casual end-users. While several studies have shown that NLIs can achieve high retrieval...
