Obtaining LaTeX LaTeX for the impatient Linux Your system distribution or vendor has probably provided a TeX system including LaTeX. Check your usual software source for a TeX package; otherwise install TeX Live directly. Mac OS X The MacTeX distribution contains everything you need, including a complete TeX system with LaTeX itself and editors to write your documents. Windows Check out the proTeXt system; this allows you to install a full TeX system, including LaTeX, while reading about the basics of the installation. General aspects First of all, don't panic if you leave this site following any of the download links on this page. LaTeX is available as free software (under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License). LaTeX as part of a TeX distribution If you're new to TeX and LaTeX or just want an easy installation, get a full TeX distribution. Following are some pointers to TeX distributions recommended by the TeX Users Group. TeX Live «TeX Live is an easy way to get up and running with TeX. Unix, Linux

Google picks up incredible visual translation app Word Lens and makes it free Google has purchased Word Lens, an impressive app that translates foreign languages in real time using the iPhone and Android smartphone built-in camera. It's now free for a limited time. Back in 2010, a company called Quest Visual debuted a little app called Word Lens. It scarcely seemed possible, but the app translated a number of different languages in real time using just the smartphone's camera. Currently, users can translate between English and Portuguese, German, Italian, French, Russian, and Spanish. It's easy to see why Google would want to own it -- its stated mission is to make all the world's information searchable in any language -- and Google Translate generally does this quite well, at least for web pages. With Word Lens, iPhone users can translate the world. Even better, it doesn't require a connection to the internet, which is another benefit for business travelers. Word Lens isn't perfect. What about you?

American Psychological Association (APA) CD to accompany Vowels and Consonants Theory of mind Definition[edit] Theory of mind is a theory insofar as the mind is not directly observable.[1] The presumption that others have a mind is termed a theory of mind because each human can only intuit the existence of his/her own mind through introspection, and no one has direct access to the mind of another. It is typically assumed that others have minds by analogy with one's own, and this assumption is based on the reciprocal nature of social interaction, as observed in joint attention,[4] the functional use of language,[5] and the understanding of others' emotions and actions.[6] Having a theory of mind allows one to attribute thoughts, desires, and intentions to others, to predict or explain their actions, and to posit their intentions. Theory of mind appears to be an innate potential ability in humans; one requiring social and other experience over many years for its full development.

A Course in Phonetics - Peter Ladefoged, Keith Johnson Linguistics 566: Introduction to Syntax for Computational Linguistics A core course in UW's Professional Master's in Computational Linguistics Autumn 2013 Course Info Instructor Info Instructor: Emily M. Links Syllabus Description This course covers fundamental concepts in syntactic analysis such as part of speech types, constituent structure, the syntax-semantics interface, and phenomena such as complementation, raising, control, passive and long-distance dependencies. Course goals By the end of this course students will be able to: Recognize certain classes of syntactic phenomena Build analyses of those phenomena in the HPSG framework Apply the process of building a formalized analysis to test linguistic hypotheses Note Note: To request academic accommodations due to a disability, please contact Disabled Student Services, 448 Schmitz, 206-543-8924 (V/TTY).

Ling 450/550 Linguistic Phonetics Linguistics 450/550: Introduction to Linguistic Phonetics Winter, 2010 Syllabus Calendar click here, Moodle page for homework and quizzes click here, Back to the Catalyst page click here, This course is an introductory survey of phonetic theory and a introduction to fundamental aspects of phonological analysis. We will explore the articulatory and acoustic phonetic correlates of phonological features. We will also study some of the systematic variation in speech sounds that form the basis for phonological structure. In this course, learning is accomplished primarily by doing — we will learn to transcribe and produce a wide variety of language sounds and we will make acoustic measurements on several types of sounds. This is a 5-credit course. I will happily accommodate special needs that students bring to my attention. For my sanity I require that students use their UW ID as their user name in the online excercises, quizzes, and in the final (including your Moodle account). Transcriptions

Allophone Diagram of basic procedure to determine whether two sounds are allophones History of concept[edit] The term "allophone" was coined by Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s. In doing so, he placed a cornerstone in consolidating early phoneme theory.[4] The term was popularized by G. L. Complementary and free-variant allophones[edit] Every time a speech sound is produced for a given phoneme, it will be slightly different from other utterances, even for the same speaker. When a specific allophone (from a set of allophones that correspond to a phoneme) must be selected in a given context (i.e., using a different allophone for a phoneme will cause confusion or make the speaker sound non-native), the allophones are said to be complementary (i.e., the allophones complement each other, and one is not used in a situation where the usage of another is standard). In other cases, the speaker is able to select freely from free variant allophones, based on personal habit or preference. Allotone[edit]
