The applicative voice list of glossing abbreviations abbreviated sc apl or sc appl is a grammatical voice which promotes an oblique case oblique argument of a verb to the core Object grammar object argument, and indicates the oblique role within the meaning of the verb. When the applicative voice is applied to a verb, its valency linguistics valency may be increased by one. Applicatives are common in the world s languages, famously so in the case of the Bantu languages . English does not have a dedicated applicative prefix or suffix. However, prepositions can be compounded with verbs for an applicative effect. For example, from Jack ran faster than the giant , the intransitive verb ran can be made transitive, and the oblique noun giant the object Jack outran the giant. The applicative verb can be made passive voice passive , something which is not possible with ran The giant was outrun by Jack. Many languages, however, do have dedicated morphology linguistics morphology commonly several affixes , for applicative uses. For example, in Yagua language Yagua He blows into it may be expressed as saduu r viim , where saduu is blow with a third person subject, and r viim is an oblique meaning into an inanimate object. Expressed with an applicative it is saduu t ra , where ta is a locative case locative applicative and the locative oblique is no longer present. The verb indicates both the agent as before and adds an object through ra .

unreferenced date December 2011 In the programming paradigm classification of programming languages , an applicative programming language is designed to support the development of programs as giving the result of a function of the combined variables. Successive functional transformations are applied to data to arrive at the result.

Applicative Computational Systems. M. JurInfoR Ltd., Center JurInfoR , 2004. xvi 789 pp. ISBN 5 89158 100 0. ref . The only essential notion which is under consideration in these systems is the representation of object computer science object . In combinatory logic the only metaoperator is function application application in a sense of applying one object to other. In lambda calculus two metaoperators are used function application application the same as in combinatory logic, and functional abstraction which binds the only variable in one object. Features of ACS The objects generated in these systems are the functional entities with the following features the number of argument places, or object arity is not fixed but is enabling step by step in interoperations with other objects in a process of generating the compound object one of its counterparts function, is applied to other one argument, but in other contexts they can change their roles, i.e. functions and arguments are considered on the equal rights the self applying of functions is allowed, i.e. any object can be applied to itself.

unreferenced date October 2006 In film , film grammar is definition defined as follows A Film frame frame is a single still image. It is analogy analogous to a letter alphabet letter . A shot filming shot is a single continuous recording made by a camera . It is analogy analogous to a word . A scene filming scene is a series of related shots. It is analogous to a Sentence linguistics sentence . The study of transitions between scenes is described in film punctuation . A sequence filming sequence is a series of scenes which together tell a major part of an entire Narrative story , such as that contained in a complete film movie . It is analogous to a paragraph . The term film grammar is best understood as a creative metaphor, since the elements of film grammar described above do not stand in any strict relation of analogy to the components of grammar as understood by philology or modern linguistics. D. W. Griffith has been called the father of film grammar. Few scholars still hold that his innovations really began with him, but Griffith was a key figure in establishing the set of codes that have become the universal backbone of film language. He was particularly influential in popularizing cross cutting &mdash using film editing to alternate between different events occurring at the same time&mdash in order to build suspense . He still used many elements from the primitive style of movie making that predated Classical Hollywood cinema classical Hollywood s continuity system, such as frontal staging, exaggerated gestures, minimal camera movement, and an absence of point of view shot s. Some claim, too, that he invented the close up shot. Credit for Griffith s cinematic innovations must be shared with his cameraman of many years, Billy Bitzer . In addition, he himself credited the legendary silent star Lillian Gish , who appeared in several of his films, with creating a new style of acting for the cinema.

Technical date August 2008 Linguistics seealso Grammatical case Case Grammar is a system of linguistic analysis , focusing on the link between the Valency linguistics valence , or number of subjects, objects, etc., of a verb and the grammatical context it requires. The system was created by the American linguist Charles J. Fillmore in 1968 , in the context of Transformational Grammar . This theory analyzes the surface syntactic structure of sentences by studying the combination of deep case s i.e. semantic roles Agent, Object, Benefactor, Location or Instrument which are required by a specific verb . For instance, the verb give in English requires an Agent A and Object O , and a Beneficiary B e.g. Jones A gave money O to the school B . According to Fillmore, each verb selects a certain number of deep cases which form its case frame . Thus, a case frame describes important aspects of semantic valency linguistics valency , of verbs, adjectives and nouns.

Montague grammar is an approach to natural language semantics , named after American logician Richard Montague . The Montague grammar is based on formal logic , especially higher order predicate logic and lambda calculus , and makes use of the notions of intensional logic , via Kripke semantics Kripke models . Montague pioneered this approach in the 1960s and early 1970s. Montague s thesis was that natural language s like English language English and formal language s like programming language s can be treated in the same way. There is in my opinion no important theoretical difference between natural languages and the artificial languages of logicians indeed, I consider it possible to comprehend the syntax and semantics of both kinds of language within a single natural and mathematically precise theory. On this point I differ from a number of philosophers, but agree, I believe, with Noam Chomsky Chomsky and his associates.

In formal language theory, an unrestricted grammar is a formal grammar on which no restrictions are made on the left and right sides of the grammar s productions. This is the most general class of grammars in the Chomsky Sch tzenberger hierarchy , and can generate arbitrary recursively enumerable language s. Formal definition An unrestricted grammar is a formal grammar math G N, Sigma, P, S math , where math N math is a set of nonterminal symbols, math Sigma math is a set of terminal symbol s, math N math and math Sigma math are disjoint actually, this is not strictly necessary, because unrestricted grammars make no real distinction between nonterminal and terminal symbols, the designation exists purely so that one knows when to stop when trying to generate formal grammar sentential form sentential form s of the grammar , math P math is a set of production rules of the form math alpha to beta math where math alpha math and math beta math are strings of symbols in math N cup Sigma math and math alpha math is not the empty string, and math S in N math is a specially designated start symbol. As the name implies, there are no real restrictions on the types of production rules that unrestricted grammars can have.

In linguistics , the term universal grinder refers to an idea that in some languages, most count noun s can be used as if they were mass noun s, which causes a slight change in their meaning. The term universal grinder was first used in print by F. Jeffry Pelletier in 1975, after a personal suggestion by David Lewis. ref Pelletier, F. Jeffry Non singular reference some preliminaries . In Philosophia Vol. 5 No. 4 Pp. 451 465, October 1975. ref The idea of the universal grinder is that while count nouns usually denote whole, distinct objects such as a dog , two dogs , the equivalent mass noun connotes a non distinct amount of whatever constitutes these objects, especially that it is unclear how many even if an integral number at all of these objects it constitutes. Because of this change of meaning, sentences made using the universal grinder can sometimes appear unappealing, for example I went to the site of the traffic accident, and there was dog lying all over the road. While the universal grinder can be used in many Indo European language s, most particularly English language English and Dutch language Dutch , it does not work with all languages, because of their different morphology linguistics morphology . For example, Mandarin Chinese has no grammatical distinction between count nouns and mass nouns, the difference is inferred from context, and thus the universal grinder would not have the effect described above. ref Cheng, Lisa L.S., Doetjes, Jenny, and Sybesma, Rint How universal is the Universal Grinder?
