Teaching with documentation and linguist's field notes can provide more context for those teaching the language and can add information they were not aware of. [12] Documentation can be useful for understanding culture and heritage, as well as learning the language. Important components when teaching a language includes: Listening, reading ...
The field of language documentation in the modern context involves a complex and ever-evolving set of tools and methods, and the study and development of their use – and, especially, identification and promotion of best practices – can be considered a sub-field of language documentation proper. [1]
Lisp is the second oldest family of programming languages in use today and as such has many dialects and implementations with a wide range of difficulties. Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, based on lambda calculus, which makes it particularly well suited for teaching theories of computing.
A programming language specification can take several forms, including the following: An explicit definition of the syntax and semantics of the language. While syntax is commonly specified using a formal grammar, semantic definitions may be written in natural language (e.g., the approach taken for the C language), or a formal semantics (e.g., the Standard ML [3] and Scheme [4] specifications).
Software documentation is written text or illustration that accompanies computer software or is embedded in the source code. The documentation either explains how the software operates or how to use it, and may mean different things to people in different roles. Documentation is an important part of software engineering. Types of documentation ...
In computing, a programming language reference or language reference manual is part of the documentation associated with most mainstream programming languages. It is written for users and developers , and describes the basic elements of the language and how to use them in a program .
“a programming language is a tool which should assist the programmer in the most difficult aspects of his art, namely program design, documentation, and debugging.” “objective criteria for good language design may be summarized in five catch phrases: simplicity, security, fast translation, efficient object code, and readability.”
S1000D – international specification for technical documentation related to commercial or military; aerospace, sea or land; vehicles or equipment. Scribble - Markup language based on Racket (programming language) [13] Scribe – Brian Reid's seminal markup language; Script – Early IBM markup language on which GML is built.
