WordPress 3.6 introduced HTML5 versions of popular template tags, starting out with comments, the comment form, and the search form. With the 3.9 release we add galleries and captions to that list. Now, when adding HTML5 support for those features, WordPress will use and elements, instead of the generic definition list markup. To declare that your theme supports these new HTML5…

HTML5 brings a host of new elements and attributes to allow developers to make their documents more easily understood by other systems (especially search engines!), display data more uniquely, and take on some of the load that has required complex JavaScript or browser plug-ins like Flash and Silverlight to handle. Here are 10 new items in HTML5 that will make it easier for…

Product semantics redirects here. The semantic turn refers to a paradigm shift in the design of artifacts – industrial, graphic, informational, architectural, and social – from an emphasis on how artifacts ought to function to what they mean to those affected by them – semantics being a concern for meaning. It provides a new foundation for professional design, a detailed…

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT. Abstract Aggregate queries are frequent in massive database applications. Their execution tends to be time consuming and costly. Therefore efficiently executing aggregate queries is very important. Semantic cache is a novel method for aiding query evaluation that reuses results of previously answered queries. But little…

Annual Review of Applied Linguistics (2010), 30:231-247 Cambridge University Press The article identifies four different types of meaning situated in different modules of language. Such a modular view of language architecture suggests that there may be differential difficulties of acquisition for the different modules. It is argued that second language (L2) acquisition of meaning…

Background Books and other text documents keep much of the human knowledge. For that reason, it is important to develop computational tools that extract and synthesize information from natural language text with the aim of building large-scale knowledge bases. The task of machine understanding of textual documents mainly parses and transforms unstructured text into a structured…

Provides the basic mathematical techniques necessary for those who are beginning a study of the semantics and logics of programming languages. These techniques will allow students to invent, formalize, and justify rules with which to reason about a variety of programming languages. Although the treatment is elementary, several of the topics covered are drawn from recent research…

Dr. Kevin Donnelly “People would argue furiously, although they essentially agreed with each other” a former politician told me this week, reflecting the way that words can obscure meaning. I was thinking about this dynamic this week on my way to a meeting with, Dr. Kevin Donnelly, a critic of the Australian Curriculum along with stakeholders and academics concerned with the…

Cognitive psychology is well-known for attempting to use individual cognitive – and SPECIFIC – failures as catalysts for larger discussions about the structure of processes critical to human rational thinking. Attached is a power point presentation I created as an undergraduate after reviewing numerous case studies. It summarizes my own commentary re: both the case studies…

Markup This part is mainly meant to be auxiliary to the writing process and likely to be largely dropped as the draft advances, using pointers instead to existing documents covering this ground. It is expected to be largely skipped by experts but to be vital for non-experts who attempt to understand the present document. Controlled vocabularies 16. Common vocabularies are…

The Orc calculus is a simple, yet powerful theory of concurrent computations with great versatility and practical applicability to a very wide range of applications, as it has been amply demonstrated by the Orc language, which extends the Orc calculus with powerful programming constructs that can be desugared into the underlying formal calculus. This means that for: (i) theoretical…

Semantics are the meaning of various elements in the program (or whatever). For example, let s look at this code: int width, numberOfChildren; Both of these variables are integers. From the compiler s point of view, they are exactly the same. However, judging by the names, one is the width of something, while the other is a count of some other things. numberOfChildren = width;…

I’d use an article for each snippet (i.e. a news teaser). Each article contains an h1 element for the heading, an img element for the image, and p element(s) for the text. As you probably want to link to a full version, you could enclose all elements in one a element (which is allowed in HTML5), or the heading etc. only. So it could look like: Only use figure if this image…

Charles J. Fillmore, one of the world’s greatest linguists — ever — died last Thursday, February 13, at the age of 84 in San Francisco. He was the discoverer of frame semantics, who did the essential research on the nature of framing in thought and language. He discovered that we think, largely unconsciously, in terms of conceptual frames — mental structures that organize our…
