To understand a sentence, the meanings of the words in the sentence must be retrieved and combined. Are these meanings represented within the language system (the lexical hypothesis) or are they represented in a general conceptual system that is not restricted to language (the conceptual hypothesis)?

Infinite words without palindrome

We show that there exists an uniformly recurrent infinite word whose set of factors is closed under reversal and which has only finitely many palindromic factors. 1 Notations For a finite word w = w1 · · ·wn, the reversal of w is the word w̃ = wn · · ·w1. This notation is extended to sets by setting F = {w̃ | w ∈ F} for any set F of finite words. A word w is a palindrome if w̃ = w. A set F of fini...
