چکیده

Let T =A∪B ∪C be an alphabet that is partitioned into three subalphabets. Themixing product of a word g over A ∪B and of a word d over A ∪C is the set of words w over T such that its projection onto A ∪ B gives g and its projection onto A ∪ C gives d. Let R be a regular language over T such that xbcy is in R if and only if xcby is in R for any two letters b in B and c in C. In other words, R is commutative over B and C. Is this property “structural” in the sense that R can then be obtained as a mixing product of a regular language over A∪B and of a regular language over A ∪ C? This question has a rather easy answer, but there are many cases where the answer is negative. A more interesting question is whether R can be represented as a finite union of mixed products of regular languages. For the moment, we do not have an answer to this question. However, we prove that it is decidable whether, for a given k, the language R is a union of at most k mixed products of regular languages. Résumé Soit T = A ∪ B ∪ C un alphabet partitionné en trois sous-alphabets. Le mélange d’un mot g sur A ∪ B et d’un mot d sur A ∪ C est l’ensemble des mots w sur T dont la projection sur A ∪ B donne le mot g et sur A ∪ C donne le mot d. ∗Corresponding author.

Berstel et al. / Theoretical Computer Science 332 (2005) 179–198 Soit R un langage rationnel sur T tel que xbcy est dans R si et seulement si xcby est dans R pour deux lettres quelconques b ∈ B et c ∈ C. En d’autres termes, R est commutatif sur B et C. Est-ce que cette propriété est “structurelle”, c’est-à-dire peut-on alors obtenir R comme mélange d’un langage rationnel sur A ∪ B et d’un langage rationnel sur A ∪ C? Cette question a une réponse plutôt facile, mais il existe de trop nombreux cas où la réponse est négative. Une question plus intéressante est de savoir si on peut représenter R comme une union finie de mélanges de langages rationnels. Pour l’instant, nous n’avons pas de réponse à cette question. En revanche, nous montrons qu’il est décidable, pour un entier k donné, si R est union d’au plus k mélanges de langages rationnels. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Retrospective and Introspective Think-Aloud Protocols in Translation Quality Assessment: A Qual-Quan Mixed Methods Research

A major concern in Translation Studies (TS) has been on what really goes on in the translators’ head while they are translating (not what researchers claim is going on). Among the techniques utilized in studying such cognitive processes and systems, think-aloud protocols (TAPs) have been widely em- ployed. As a content analysis study, this Qual-Quan mixed methods...

Collocational Processing in Two Languages: A psycholinguistic comparison of monolinguals and bilinguals

With the renewed interest in the field of second language learning for the knowledge of collocating words, research findings in favour of holistic processing of formulaic language could support the idea that these language units facilitate efficient language processing. This study investigated the difference between processing of a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) of congruent col...

Sentiment Analysis of Code-Mixed Languages leveraging Resource Rich Languages

Code-mixed data is an important challenge of natural language processing because its characteristics completely vary from the traditional structures of standard languages. In this paper, we propose a novel approach called Sentiment Analysis of Code-Mixed Text (SACMT) to classify sentences into their corresponding sentiment positive, negative or neutral, using contrastive learning. We utilize th...

Mixed Specification Logic

Separation of concerns or aspects is nowadays recognized as an important issue in software engineering, both at the programming and at the design/specification level. The goal of mixed specification languages is to take into account all or at least several aspects of systems. We found out from our experience that a lot of mixed specification languages do share most of their features. However, s...

A Logic with Temporal Glue for Mixed Specifications

Separation of concerns or aspects is nowadays recognized as an important issue in software engineering, both at the programming and at the design/specification level. The goal of mixed specification languages (e.g. SDL, value-passing process algebras such as extensions of CSP or full-LOTOS, Korrigan) is to take into account all or at least several aspects of systems. We found out from our exper...
