We introduce and analyze a new statistical ensemble of low-density parity-check convolutional (LDC) codes. The result of the analysis are bounds, such as a lower bound for the free distance and upper bounds for the burst error probability of the LDC codes.

The unit for research into reading that we set up in Liverpool is just over a year old now. It is called CRILS – the Centre for Research into Reading, Information and Linguistic Systems. Odd though perhaps it may seem at first, we came out of a department for the study of English literature and into a faculty of Health and Life Sciences, to widen our remit across disciplines and in relation to ...

This paper describes a method for finding struc-rural matching between parallel sentences of two languages, (such as Japanese and English). Parallel sentences are analyzed based on unification grammars, and structural matching is performed by making use of a similarity measure of word pairs in the two languages. Syntactic ambiguities are resolved simultaneously in the matching process. The resu...

(2) This property of discrete infinity characterizes EVERY human language; none consists of a finite set of sentences. The unchanged central goal of linguistic theory over the last fifty years has been and remains to give a precise, formal characterization of this property and then to explain how humans develop (or grow) and use discretely infinite linguistic systems. (Epstein and Hornstein 200...

The notion of Translation Quality Assessment has been the object of many studies. TQA as the compre- hensive treatment of translation evaluation, focuses on the relationship between the source text and target text and also emphasizes that translation is a linguistic operation. To accomplish this research, House‟s model of TQA was chosen as the framework for the investigation ...

in recent decades, “figurative language” has gained the interest of a large number of russian linguists as a source of lexical enrichment. persian and russian manifest, are more or less, a different image of a movement. nevertheless, these verbs share a number of linguistic features, although they belong to two diverse languages. due to the high frequency in the function of movement verbs in th...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the idea of traditional arithmetic operation, we have developed some aggregation operators for aggregating hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: hesitant fuzzy linguistic weighted average (...

This study draws on a comparative framework to evaluate the translation of political implications in three Persian translations of the novellaAnimal Farm (by George Orwell), using  Fairclough’scritical discourse analysis (CDA) model. The study regards political implications and ideologies as a mode of background knowledge shared by writers and audiences in the source language. Fairclough’s mode...
