  2. Range concatenation grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_concatenation_grammar

    Range concatenation grammar (RCG) is a grammar formalism developed by Pierre Boullier [1] in 1998 as an attempt to characterize a number of phenomena of natural language, such as Chinese numbers and German word order scrambling, which are outside the bounds of the mildly context-sensitive languages.

  3. Concatenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concatenation

    A spreadsheet's concatenate ("&") function is used to assemble a complex text string—in this example, XML code for an SVG "circle" element. In formal language theory and computer programming, string concatenation is the operation of joining character strings end-to-end. For example, the concatenation of "snow" and "ball" is "snowball".

  4. Compound (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_(linguistics)

    Consequently, a compound is a unit composed of more than one stem, forming words or signs. If the joining of the words or signs is orthographically represented with a hyphen, the result is a hyphenated compound (e.g., must-have, hunter-gatherer). If they are joined without an intervening space, it is a closed compound (e.g., footpath, blackbird).

  5. Sentence spacing in language and style guides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_spacing_in...

    Standard word spaces were about one-third of an em space, but sentences were to be divided by a full em-space. With the arrival of the typewriter in the late 19th century, style guides for writers began diverging from printer's manuals, indicating that writers should double-space between sentences.

  6. Sentence spacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_spacing

    Sentence spacing concerns how spaces are inserted between sentences in typeset text and is a matter of typographical convention. [1] Since the introduction of movable-type printing in Europe, various sentence spacing conventions have been used in languages with a Latin alphabet. [2]

  7. Regular language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_language

    In theoretical computer science and formal language theory, a regular language (also called a rational language) [1] [2] is a formal language that can be defined by a regular expression, in the strict sense in theoretical computer science (as opposed to many modern regular expression engines, which are augmented with features that allow the recognition of non-regular languages).

    Instead, formulas may be placed on their own line using < math display = block >. For instance, the formula above was typeset using <math display=block> \int _ 0 ^ \pi \sin x \, dx.</math>. If you find an article which indents lines with spaces in order to achieve some formula layout effect, you should convert the formula to LaTeX markup.

    Diagram of one version of the derivation of the Arabic word muslim in autosegmental phonology, with root consonants associating (shown by dotted grey lines). Nonconcatenative morphology , also called discontinuous morphology and introflection , is a form of word formation and inflection in which the root is modified and which does not involve ...
