Robert Alter 4. As many modern commentators have noted, the first Creation account concludes with the summarizing phrase in the first half of this verse: " This is the tale [literally, these are the begettings] of the heavens and the earth when they were created," these two paired terms, "heavens" and "earth," taking us back in an envelope structure to the paired terms of the very first verse o...

the mental association and the innovation of lingual and artistic relations on two syntagmatic and paradigmatic axis results in collocation in a literary speech. in the ordinary and formal language collocation is the necessary condition for a speech to be considered meaningful and coherent, but in literary language, there is a variety of aesthetic creativities and innovations that leads to the ...

over the past one hundred and fifty years, due to a huge number of translations from different languages into persian, certain norms of language use have changed and certain others are in the process of changing. as one of the most frequent syntactic properties of most languages, especially english, the nominal style is a most likely candidate for transfer through translation into persian, a la...

Animated child characters are increasingly important for educational and entertainment content geared towards younger users. While motion capture technology creates realistic and believable motion for adult characters, the same type of data is hard to collect for young children. We aim to algorithmically transform adult motion capture data to look child-like. We implemented a warping based styl...

INTRODUCTION Numerical optimization-based RF pulse design methods are widely used to incorporate system non-idealities and non-linearities such as field inhomogeneities, coil sensitivities, and signal decay [1-3]. These approaches often lead to RF pulses with high peak RF magnitude exceeding the hardware or safety limits and the variablerate selective excitation (VERSE) principle can be utilize...

This paper focuses on the relationship between source text characteristics (ambiguity, complexity and style compliance) and machine-translation post-editing effort (both temporal and technical). Post-editing data is collected in a traditional translation environment and subsequently plotted against textual scores produced by a range of systems. Our findings show some strong correlation between ...

1 . The present paper presents an original interdisciplinary study of style-shifting in literary translation, which draws upon methodologies and techniques from corpus stylistics and computational stylometry, and relevant sociolinguistic theories of style variation. Such an innovative approach to the literary translator’s idiosyncratic use of language sets out to address one of the most difficu...

In the paper, we describe an algorithm for generating Czech iambic verse and its implementation on a computer. It is a continuation of the work first done in 1972 [6], in which a program generating Czech iambic verse had been developed, written in the programming language Algol-Genius and run on the mainframe SAAB D21 with interesting results. Here, we present a new experiment which is a follow...
