An infinite sequence of real numbers (in blue). This sequence is neither increasing, decreasing, convergent, nor Cauchy. It is, however, bounded. In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters. Like a set, it contains members (also called elements, or terms).
In linguistics, a consonant cluster, consonant sequence or consonant compound, is a group of consonants which have no intervening vowel. In English, for example, the groups /spl/ and /ts/ are consonant clusters in the word splits. In the education field it is variously called a consonant cluster or a consonant blend. [1] [2]
In English, a stop consonant is often added as a transitional sound between the parts of a nasal + fricative sequence: English hamster / ˈ h æ m s t ər / often pronounced with an added p sound, GA: [ˈhɛəmpstɚ] or RP: [ˈhampstə] English warmth / ˈ w ɔːr m θ / often pronounced with an added p sound, GA: [ˈwɔɹmpθ] or RP: [ˈwɔːmpθ]
An n-gram is a sequence of n adjacent symbols in particular order. [1] The symbols may be n adjacent letters (including punctuation marks and blanks), syllables , or rarely whole words found in a language dataset; or adjacent phonemes extracted from a speech-recording dataset, or adjacent base pairs extracted from a genome.
For example, the sequence ,, is a subsequence of ,,,,, obtained after removal of elements ,, and . The relation of one sequence being the subsequence of another is a partial order . Subsequences can contain consecutive elements which were not consecutive in the original sequence.
The English syllable (and word) twelfths /twɛlfθs/ is divided into the onset /tw/, the nucleus /ɛ/ and the coda /lfθs/; thus, it can be described as CCVCCCC (C = consonant, V = vowel). On this basis it is possible to form rules for which representations of phoneme classes may fill the cluster.
A uniformly recurrent word is a recurrent word in which for any given factor X in the sequence, there is some length n X (often much longer than the length of X) such that X appears in every block of length n X. [1] [6] [7] The terms minimal sequence [8] and almost periodic sequence (Muchnik, Semenov, Ushakov 2003) are also used.
A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of symbols that reads the same backwards as forwards, such as the sentence: "A man, a plan, a canal – Panama". ". Following is a list of palindromic phrases of two or more words in the English language, found in multiple independent collections of palindromic phra
