    Python supports normal floating point numbers, which are created when a dot is used in a literal (e.g. 1.1), when an integer and a floating point number are used in an expression, or as a result of some mathematical operations ("true division" via the / operator, or exponentiation with a negative exponent).

    In the 1580s, English printer Henry Denham invented a "rhetorical question mark" (βΈ®) for use at the end of a rhetorical question; however, it fell out of use in the 17th century. It was the reverse of an ordinary question mark, so that instead of the main opening pointing back into the sentence, it opened away from it.

    It models a speaker's knowledge of language as a computational system with one basic operation, namely Merge. Merge combines expressions taken from the lexicon in a successive fashion to generate representations that characterize I-Language, understood to be the internalized intensional knowledge state as represented in individual speakers.

    Combinatory categorial grammar (CCG) is an efficiently parsable, yet linguistically expressive grammar formalism.It has a transparent interface between surface syntax and underlying semantic representation, including predicate–argument structure, quantification and information structure.

    In linguistics, an argument is an expression that helps complete the meaning of a predicate, [1] the latter referring in this context to a main verb and its auxiliaries.

  7. Lojban - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban

    The meaning of the sentence mi prami do is determined by prami realizing, with its own predefined place structure, a specific semantic relation between mi and do; when the positional relation between mi and do changes, the meaning of the sentence changes too. As shown above, Lojban has particular devices to preserve such semantic structure of ...

    The next complete syntactic component (s-expression) can be commented out with #;. ABAP If the first character of a line, including indentation, is an asterisk ( * ) the whole line is considered as a comment, while a single double quote ( " ) begins an in-line comment which acts until the end of the line.
