Language change for the worse [PDF]

Many theories hold that language change, at least on a local level, is driven by a need for improvement. The present volume explores to what extent this assumption holds true, and whether there is a particular type of language change that we dub language

On the Complexity of Unary Tiling-Recognizable Picture Languages [PDF]

, 2007
We give a characterization, in terms of computational complexity, of the family Rec1 of the unary picture languages that are tiling recognizable. We introduce quasi-unary strings to represent unary pictures and we prove that any unary picture language L is in Rec1 if and only if the set of all quasi-unary strings encoding the elements of L is ...

On piecewise testable, starfree, and recognizable picture languages [PDF]

, 1998
We isolate a technique for showing that a picture language (i.e. a“two-dimensional language/rd) is not recognizable. Then we prove the non-recognizability of a picture language that is both starfree (i.e., definable by means of union, concatenation, and complement) and piecewise testable (i.e., definable by means of allowed subpictures), solving an ...

Current research in grammatical analysis and sociolinguistics points to two core characteristics of language that seem incommensurable at first sight: (1) research on linguistic structure indicates internal organisation and coherence, and the workings ...

ON RECOGNIZABLE LANGUAGES OF INFINITE PICTURES [PDF]

International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science, 2004
In a recent paper, Altenbernd, Thomas and Wöhrle have considered acceptance of languages of infinite two-dimensional words (infinite pictures) by finite tiling systems, with the usual acceptance conditions, such as the Büchi and Muller ones, firstly used for infinite words. The authors asked for comparing the tiling system acceptance with an acceptance

Recognizability of Tetrahedral Picture Languages

International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE), 2019
In two dimensions, tiling the plane plays a vital role. Many picture generative models were attempted to tile the three dimensional space. A. Dharani et al. [6] introduced a new theoretical picture generative model to tile a three dimensional space using tetrahedral tile in two different ways namely Sequential Space Filling Grammar (SSFG) and Parallel ...
