viii, 159 p.; 22 cm. VG orig. tan cloth in vg dj. `the troubles of mankind arise chiefly from imperfections in man which are due to the appearance of self-consciousness' (27) `The physical unification of the world has increased feelings of insecurity. Formerly you could, generally speaking, only be attacked by your near neighbours; nowadays you may be threatened by people who live on the other side of the world. Moreover, the advance of technology has given men new weapons of mass-destruction--though the historian may doubt whether Hiroshima was more horrible than,say, some of the atrocities of the Mongols in the thirteenth century, the former is much nearer to ourselves. These feelings of insecurity,whether in nations or in smaller bodies politic,lead to a magnifying ofthe importance of one's own group and a belittling of the importance of other groups. The nomadic Arabs prior to Muhammad illustrate thiswiththeir two kinds of poem;in one they "boasted" ofthe glories oftheir own tribe and showed how its heroic achievements exemplified the highest human excellence (as they conceived it),while inthe other they spoke of the baseness and contemptibility of their enemies.Despite the many differences, modern war propaganda has the same basic pattern.Onthe one hand it portrays one's own side as superior in various ways--in ideals,in general conduct and in military success;and onthe other hand it suggests the inferiority of the enemy--his false ideals, his lower standards of conduct (sometimes amounting to atrocities), and his military failures. As people become more sophisticated, more subtlety is required to induce them to believe in their own superiority and their enemies' inferiority. The basic needs of average human beings, however, remain the same.' (123 f.). Binding is Hardcover.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is essential reading for linguists and computer scientists interested in creating computer systems that can understand and communicate with humans. In this area of research, which is still in its infancy, a crucial obstacle to progress is the creation of âmicrogrammars,â which are artificial languages that consist of only a subset of English sentences. The trouble with microgrammars is that their constrained vocabularies and syntax make it difficult for users to know which sentences are valid. The author of this book argues that the solution to this problem is to design microgrammars with âextrapolative symmetry,â which means that the grammar will allow for the generation of new, grammatically valid sentences based on the extrapolation of rules from existing sentences. This would allow users more freedom to communicate with the computer without worrying about breaking the rules of the microgrammar. The author describes different kinds of extrapolation, both syntactic and lexical, which can be programmed into a microgrammar to make it more user-friendly and practical. The authorâs insights into the nature of natural and artificial languages will be of interest to anyone concerned with the challenge of human-computer interaction. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents PLACEBO IV, a groundbreaking microgrammar of the English language created by the author. PLACEBO IV was designed for use in AI systems, but it can also be utilized as a tool for analyzing human language. The microgrammar is distinguished by its simplicity and ability to generate an infinite number of sentences. It is rooted in previous microgrammars but significantly advances the field. The author's primary purpose in writing this book is to make PLACEBO IV accessible to scholars outside of computer science. It includes materials which make the microgrammar accessible for close inspection and a concordance of its rules. It's also useful for anyone interested in the intersection of natural language and computer science or the generation of language for narrative purposes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
