This leads to a syntactic classification of tree languages and it turns out that the class of recognizable tree languages is properly contained in that of languages with bounded complexity. A refined syntactic complexity notion is also presente...
متن کاملTextuality of Idiomatic Expressions in Cameroon English
The meaning of an idiomatic expression cannot be transparently worked out from the meanings of its constituent words due to its figurative and unpredictable nature.
