    The word lexicon derives from Greek word λεξικόν (lexikon), neuter of λεξικός (lexikos) meaning 'of or for words'. [ 1 ] Linguistic theories generally regard human languages as consisting of two parts: a lexicon, essentially a catalogue of a language's words (its wordstock); and a grammar , a system of rules which allow for the ...

    Similarly, (4,2,4) is lexicographically larger than (2,4,4). The following algorithm can be used to compute whether x is leximin-larger than y: Let x' be a vector containing the same elements of x but in ascending order; Let y' be a vector containing the same elements of y but in ascending order; Return "true" iff x' is lexicographically-larger ...

  6. Lexicographic order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_order

    The words in a lexicon (the set of words used in some language) have a conventional ordering, used in dictionaries and encyclopedias, that depends on the underlying ordering of the alphabet of symbols used to build the words. The lexicographical order is one way of formalizing word order given the order of the underlying symbols.

    Languages with bound case markings for nouns, for example, tend to have more flexible word orders than languages where case is defined by position within a sentence or presence of a preposition. For example, in some languages with bound case markings for nouns, such as Language X, varying degrees of freedom in constituent order are observed.

  8. Lyndon word - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_word

    S[k] is less than S[m]: if we append S[m] to the current collected symbols, we'll get a Lyndon word. But we can't add it to the result list yet because it may be just a part of a larger Lyndon word. Thus, just increment m and set k to 0 so the next symbol would be compared to the first one in the string.

  9. Lexicographic preferences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_preferences

    Even though the first option contains fewer total goods than the second option, it is preferred because it has more Y. Note that the number of X's is the same, and so the agent is comparing Y's. Even though the third option has the same total goods as the first option, the first option is still preferred because it has more X.
