Programmed word length computer

Proceedings of the 1967 22nd national conference on -, 1967
The concept of a programmable word length computer has evolved through an attempt to minimize wasted storage in any fixed word length computer. Whether the computer contains six bits per word or 72 bits per word, storage is inevitably wasted when it is necessary to use a full word for a simple on-off switch, or to have 12-digit capacity used for 2 ...

THE LENGTH OF SHORT WORDS IN UNAVOIDABLE SETS

International Journal of Algebra and Computation, 2011
Maximum possible lengths of short words in unavoidable sets of order no more than n have the form log n + O( log log n). The respective log bases of the upper and lower bounds of the shortest and second shortest words are (for a two-letter alphabet) 2 and τ, the Golden Ratio. The latter result comes through identifying certain bases of free monoids.

Word Length and Intelligibility

Language and Speech, 1959
Intelligibility tests were conducted with monosyllabic, bisyllabic and trisyllabic words under conditions of known and unknown message sets. Longer words were found to be more intelligible than shorter words in both known and unknown message sets.

Stuttering and Word Length

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1967
Fourteen young adult male stutterers read two lists of words, one list consisting of one-syllable word pairs, the second list consisting of two-syllable words phonetically equivalent to word pairs in the first list. Results show a significantly higher frequency of stuttering on two-syllable words.

A Contribution to the Theory of Word Length Distribution Based on a Stochastic Word Length Distribution Model

Journal of Quantitative Linguistics, 2013
Abstract We derive a stochastic word length distribution model based on the concept of compound distributions and show its relationships with and implications for Wimmer et al. ’s (1994) synergetic word length distribution model.

A LOCUS OF THE WORD-LENGTH EFFECT ON WORD RECOGNITION

Reading Psychology, 1999
Word length has a strong effect on visual word recognition. This study was conducted to examine the locus of the word-length effect by looking at the interacting pattern between word length and word frequency. If the interacting pattern is additive, the two variables are believed to affect separate stages.

On relative word length and transposed-word effects.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance
It is harder to decide that a sequence of words is ungrammatical when the ungrammaticality is created by transposing two words in a correct sentence (e.g., he wants green these apples), and it is harder to judge that two ungrammatical word sequences are different when the difference is created by transposing two words (e.g., green want these he apples ...

The Word-Length Problem

2007
Abstract The word-length problem in Chinese refers to the fact that though the same expression can be composed of different numbers of syllables, there are restrictions on word-length combinations. The problem is illustrated in (1), transcribed in Pinyin. The number of syllables in each parallel sentence is given in parentheses.
