TEX has long been associated with mathematics and “hard” sciences such as physics. But even during the early days of TEX, linguists were attracted to the system, and today a growing number of them are turning to TEX (LATEX, ConTEXt). Aside from the general advantages of TEX for producing academic papers, it offers linguists largely intuitive means for dealing with often complex notational issue...

One of the most important purposes Higher Education is to train highly competent specialists, provide high quality education as a result mastering educational programs in accord with requirements Federal State Educational Standard (FSES) Education. This purpose key point work any Institution Modern competences paradigm (bachelor’s degree) directed form following types competences: general cultu...

Linguists rely on intuitive conceptions of structure when comparing expressions and languages. In an algebraic presentation of a language, some natural notions of similarity can be rigorously de ned (e.g. among elements of a language, equivalence w.r.t. isomorphisms of the language; and among languages, equivalence w.r.t. isomorphisms of symmetry groups), but it turns out that slightly more com...

This paper summarizes work over the past ve years on the automated planning and generation of multisentence texts using discourse structure relations, placing it in context of ongoing eeorts by Computational Linguists and Linguists to understand the structure of discourse. Based on a series of studies by the author and others, the paper describes how the orientation of generation toward communi...

If someone would collect opinions among the computational linguists what had been the most important trend in linguistics in the last decade, it is highly probable that the majority would answer that it was the massive use of large natural language corpora in many linguistic fields. The concept of collecting large amounts of written or spoken natural language data has become extremely important...
