At the central level, we use a single vocabulary of abstract elements, stylistic terms that are maximally expressive. Rules relate these abstract elements to patterns of lexical, syntactic, and semantic primitive elements. This level is the unifying core of the grammar; as we will note later, the same abstract elements can describe both English and French style, and both syntactic and semantic aspects of style. Finally, at the top level, rules correlate individual stylistic goals with patterns of abstract elements. Together, these levels form a language-independent 4° schema for a goal-directed grammar. 4.2 Grammar of Primitive Elements The stylistic grammar that we have outlined in the previous section shows how lexical, syntactic, and semantic aspects of style would be integrated within one grammar. Some work has already been done on the development of the lexical and semantic branches (see Sections 6.1 and 6.2), but here we will focus on syntactic style. We will now trace the development of the syntactic component of the stylistic grammar, beginning with the most detailed and most closely syntactic level, the grammar of primitive elements. As we proposed earlier, we will consider two analyses of sentence structure, connective and hierarchic, each with its own stylistic classifications. In this base-level grammar of 40 We expect that a particular stylistic grammar will be applicable to a family of stylistically similar languages.

متن کاملDescription Theory and Approach about Space Syntax Methodology in Urban Design Process
Nowadays space is considered to be a net of connections between different areas. The questions how to delineate its character and how it is possible to objectively compare two spaces is a matter under consideration. This was the reason for creating new theories about the structure of space. Space syntax analysis (SSA) or simply Space Syntax defines a number of theories and research areas devo...
متن کاملThe application and development of graph theory through the space syntax method: The implementation of analytical practical model in architecture
Abstract Over the last few decades, different mathematical methods have been used to design and analyze architectural spaces. Meanwhile, the graph theory provides an abstract model to study the spatial configuration, so that a simple and flexible mathematical framework is obtained to analyze the spatial topological features and their relationship with social and functional concepts in architec...

If sophisticated natural language systems are to handle the full range of communication, then they must be able to account for the nuances and subtleties of linguistic style. A computational treatment of style would be highly advantageous to natural language understanding and generation, with particular relevance to intelligent computer-assisted language instruction and machine translation. The...
