Write Rite Right: (An imperative sentence)

Write Rite Right: (An imperative sentence)
iUniverse, Inc.(2005-10-26) | 112 Pages | 6.6 MB PDF

Why a compendium of homonyms, homophones, and frequently misapplied words?

To paraphrase Mr. Twain:

Sometimes, the difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between going down in history and going down in flames.

Who can benefit from keeping this book within easy reach?

Everyone who writes for others to read! When you write, for whatever reason, your written words represent you to clients, superiors, peers, employees, and, perhaps, the world at large. What you write and how you write it represents you in the minds of your readers. You shouldn't be satisfied to appear in public in linguistic disarray any more than you would in sartorial slovenliness.

The Language of New Media

Lev Manovich “The Language of New Media"
The MIT Press | 2001-03-15 | 394 pages | PDF | 27,8 MB

In this book Lev Manovich offers the first systematic and rigorous theory of new media. He places new media within the histories of visual and media cultures of the last few centuries. He discusses new media's reliance on conventions of old media, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera, and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality, address the viewer, and represent space. He also analyzes categories and forms unique to new media, such as interface and database.
Manovich uses concepts from film theory, art history, literary theory, and computer science and also develops new theoretical constructs, such as cultural interface, spatial montage, and cinegratography. The theory and history of cinema play a particularly important role in the book. Among other topics, Manovich discusses parallels between the histories of cinema and of new media, digital cinema, screen and montage in cinema and in new media, and historical ties between avant-garde film and new media.

Computational Approaches to Morphology and Syntax

Brian Roark, Richard Sproat “Computational Approaches to Morphology and Syntax"
Oxford University Press, USA | 2007-09-27 | 320 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB

The book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of morphology, syntax, computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP). It provides a critical and practical guide to computational techniques for handling morphological and syntactic phenomena, showing how these techniques have been used and modified in practice.
The authors discuss the nature and uses of syntactic parsers and examine the problems and opportunities of parsing algorithms for finite-state, context-free and various context-sensitive grammars. They relate approaches for describing syntax and morphology to formal mechanisms and algorithms, and present well-motivated approaches for augmenting grammars with weights or probabilities.
