Microevolutionary language theory
A new microevolutionary theory of complex design within language is proposed. Experiments were carried out that support the theory that complex functional design - adaptive complexity - accumulates due to the evolutionary algorithm at the simplest levels within human natural language. A large …

Optimzing Web Application Fuzzing with Genetic Algorithms and Language Theory
The widespread availability and use of computing and internet resources require soft- ware developers to implement secure development standards and rigorous testing to prevent vulnerabilities. Due to human fallibility, programming errors and logical in- consistencies abound—thus, conventions for …

The relevant and reliable language theory : developing a language measure of trust for online groups
… thesis investigated the link between trust and language in online dyadic, online group, and virtual community interactions. The first two empirical studies revealed that positive emotion is reliably linked to trust, that is to say that dyads and groups that produce more positive emotion words …

History of the Baccalaureat: A Study of the Interaction Between Educational Legislation, Government Policy, and Language Theory in the National Language Examination
… of ""reverse engineering"" to analyze how the language portions of the examination reflect changes in language theory and language policy. The Baccalaureat was born from the educational philosophy of the Jesuits, the radical reforms of the French Revolution, and the mania for quantification of …

Combinatorics of a family of stochastic differential equations with an eye towards topological temperature
… is achieved using combinatorics and formal language theory. This is extended to a topological notion of temperature and qualitative results regarding the relatedness of scale separated stochastic dynamical systems by changes in temperature.

TOUCHING THE CENTER THAT BURNS: AN EXORCISM
… thesis seeks to explore the relationship between language, traumatic memory, and identity. Through a cross-genre creative style of writing and scholarship, the writer engages with trauma theory, performative language theory, psychoanalysis, and literature in order to illuminate how language, in …

A relação sintatico-semântica dos verbos e seus argumentos na língua brasileira de sinais (Libras)
Study about Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) verbs and the main objective is to do a classification of them through their morpho-syntactic-semantic components. For doing this study, it was necessary to rethink about language typologies, grammatical categories and to do a field researching. The verb …

The attitudes of African American students towards the study of foreign languages and cultures
… students participate at lower levels in foreign language programs in terms of taking courses and majoring and minoring in foreign languages. The primary foreign language that it explores is Spanish, and its findings suggest that the introduction of the language devoid of the influence of …

QUANTUM AND TRANSLUCENT PARADIGMS IN AUTOMATA THEORY: A STUDY ON COMPUTATIONAL CAPABILITIES
Within the realm of automata theory, various models differ on their processing mechanisms and computational paradigms. This study investigates two computational paradigms, recently introduced in the literature: quantum and translucency. Specifically, we investigate Quantum Finite State Automata …

Language Domains and Status in Middle Cornish
The revived Cornish language is based on the Cornish medieval miracle and saints' lives plays, and a question arising is their use of non-Cornish phrases, which has been remarked on for many years, with no consensus of what their use means. Is there a pattern in its use, or is it random, and does …

Structured learning and inference with neural networks and generative models
… reverse, etc.), and show how ideas from type theory and programming language theory can be used to design a data augmentation scheme that enables effective learning from small datasets. Next, we show how error-driven proposal mechanisms can speed up stochastic search for generative model …

The transformational implementation of JSD process specifications via finite automata representation
… can be characterised with reference to formal language theory and automata theory. In particular, it is noted that Jackson structure diagrams are equivalent to regular expressions and can be thought of as specifying corresponding finite automata. The thesis discusses the automatic …

Teaching AIs to Reason and Code, Confidentially
Large Language Models (LLMs) have advanced rapidly, creating new opportunities for automating complex software-engineering tasks, yet today’s models still produce semantically flawed code and raise safety, privacy, and lock-in concerns on centralized clouds. I present an end-to-end framework that …

A Brain for Language and the Language of the Brain
… the basic concepts and results of computation theory, the relationship with formal language theory, and present an introduction to the possible applications to different biological systems. The second section deals with the role of noise in the transmission of information in neurons. We show …

Monadic and Higher-Order Structure
… theories, ubiquitous in the study of programming language theory, augment algebraic theories with higher-order, variable-binding structure. This motivates the definition of higher-order algebraic theories to capture this structure, permitting the study of simple type theories in a categorical …
