A Few Random Thoughts and Rants on the Primary Topic of Our Fair Little Blog by Brad Hart We are rapidly approaching our 500th post here at American Creation (should happen some time this month), with most of those postings being devoted to answering the question, Is America a Christian nation? And over the past several months, a plethora of explanations have been presented…

Syntax is defined by the grammar of the language. Semantics is definied by the implentation. For example, int a; a = 123; here is a=123; is both syntactically and semantically correct but consider this int a; int *b; a = b; a = b is syntactically correct (grammar allows this, lvalue is a variable that can be written, rvalue is a variable or a constant or an expression) but…

As we know, Semantics is the systematic study of meaning, and linguistic semantics is the study of how language organised and express meaning. It involves psychology, philosophy, and linguistics. It focuses meaning in discourse, and meaning grammatically, phonologycally, and lexically. It is from word to sentence, sentence to paragraph, paragraph to discourse. Grammatical meaning…

Semantic Java lets us translate Java classes, attributes, and objects into OWL classes, properties, and individuals and post Java data directly on the Semantic Web. In fact, we can post all object-oriented data directly on the Semantic Web. It turns out that if we treat object-oriented classes as unary predicates and attributes as binary predicates relating two entities, the…

North Charleston has been working months on its case to stop rail access from running through its fast growing residential and business area. Mayor Keith Summey says he has now sent a letter of intent to sue several state agencies, as well as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in federal court. As of the 17th, 2011, a notice of draft complaint was sent to various state and federal…

Does copy elision and RVO would still work for classes without move constructors? Yes, RVO still kicks in. Actually, the compiler is expected to pick: RVO (if possible) Move construction (if possible) Copy construction (last resort) Why can t STL internally leverage move semantics to improve such operations internally using operations like copy elision or RVO which doesn t…

It is not easy to describe the relation between syntax and semantics, but it is probably easy to say why that is not easy: there are different perspectives about syntax and semantics, so the relation depends on what you understand by form and meaning, structure and content. If you look at the history of Chomskyan linguistics, you will find the chapter in which a group of people…

Explanations above are vague on the semantics side, semantics could mean the different elements at disposition to build arguments of value(these being comprehensible, to end-user man and digestible to the machine). Of course this puts semantics and the programmer-editor-writer-communicator in the middle: he decides on the semantics that should be ideally defined to his public…

Author(s): Karen Sp\ arck Jones Semantic grammar is contrasted with conventional grammars as it relies predominantly on semantic rather than syntactic categories, e.g., MESSAGE, PATIENT-TYPE, HAVE, DISEASE-TYPE. In some cases the semantic categories and structures are merely cosmetic re-labellings of conventional syntactic categories and structures, but more thorough semantic…

I think it has something to do with the workspace/.metadata. I had the problem of semantic errors reported but Hello World compiles and runs. I deleted the project, created another one, same error reporting. Reinstalled CDT, same thing. Deleted the workspace, shut down Eclipse, restarted, created new hello world, same thing. Deleted the workspace again, shut down Eclipse again…

Semantics focuses on the relationships between words and phrases, as well as the rules for combining words in order to create phrases and sentences. There s a seemingly endless list of terms for various relationships between words, so we ll just list some of the most important and interesting ones below. homonyms - These are words pronounced (and sometimes also spelled) the…

At least a few of the 120 analogies (questions) on your MAT will involve non-semantic word relationships. What this means is that the connection between the words has nothing to do with their meaning. (The adjective semantic means of or relating to the meanings of words and phrases. This type of MAT question typically focuses either on letter patterns or on phonetics (how…

In which I briefly mention what pure functional programming is, explain why this can be slow in C++, and use move semantics to solve that problem. Be warned that this post is a bit longer than usual for this blog, and that it assumes more knowledge of C++11 than my posts usually do. Pure functional programming is programming without state. In short, functions should not modify…

Most container types want to abstract the particular storage strategy, be it linked list, vector, tree-based or what have you. For this reason, you re going to have trouble with both possessing and consuming the aforementioned cake (i.e., the cake is lie (NB: someone had to make this joke)). So what to do? Well there are a few cute options, but most will reduce to variants…

How speaker intention and hearer interpretation affect meaning OR the study of utterance meaning OR how the meanings of the things we say are shaped by context. 1. Interrogatives (questions) 2.
