Inscriptions are often regarded as the ultimate textual 鈥榦riginals鈥� 鈥� authentic, authoritative, and unique. This volume challenges that longstanding assumption by showing that formal inscriptions were commonly produced with the help of manuscripts and are, in many cases, copies of preexisting models. Bringing together studies from China, India, Laos, and Siam, the book explores the complex processes of drafting, copying, and transferring texts across a wide range of materials and media. The cont

NLP++ AND VISUALTEXT
OVERVIEW
NLP++ is a rule-based, knowledge-driven programming language designed specifically for natural language processing. It was created in 1998 by Amnon Meyers and David de Hilster, based on a cognitive model of how humans read and understand natural language, and is now in active development under the NLP Foundation. NLP++ takes a fundamentally different approach from the statistical and neural methods that dominate contemporary NLP. Rather than learning patterns

Article:
The study of language variation from a geographical perspective has become the subject of renewed interest thanks to new theoretical, empirical and technological developments, such as advances in the study of language and dialect contact, the creation of new dialectal corpora or the availability of computer tools to create maps from geolocated linguistic data. The present volume features research that takes advantage of these developments and brings together the efforts of linguists working in h
The volume represents a cohesive yet multifaceted approach to themes, issues, and controversies concerning the role that Latin and Greek played in providing a template for the structural patterns and lexicon of the modern-day European languages. The authors engage in a careful examination of the evidence from the classical languages, tracing the origins of such structures as negation patterns from Latin, or request verbs from Greek. Among many other structures, they observe the continuing influe

That Mande family belongs to the Niger-Congo macro-family was first proposed by Joseph Greenberg in the middle of the 20th century. Over the last two decades this affiliation has regularly been questioned, the main argument for skepticism being the well-known fact there is no trace of any noun class in Mande.Our study proves that these doubts are groundless as far as the lexicon is concerned.
Our conclusion is based on the following arguments which appear to be sufficient for the establishment
