- A linguistic model for literary language?
1978, Poetics
A genuine dichotomy exists between language and literary colleagues of the same department. One reason for the schism, visible for example in literary critic vs. linguists, may be because the one has but limited relevance for the other (section 1). Formal models of natural language use have grown out of the union of artificial intelligence and computational linguistics; these ‘representational grammars’ (RG) overcome some of the inherent limitations for literary language of more orthodox Chomskian or Bloomfieldian models (section 2). As a very simple literary case, Aristotle's examples of metaphors (section 3) are parsed in RG, leading to some tentative generalizations about the nature of metaphor and to a graphical display of the elements that make a metaphor what it is (section 4). A particular example of a metaphor from the Oresteia is examined, leading to the recognition that such qualities as ‘novelty’ and ‘fit’ are necessary for the distinction of metaphorical from non-metaphorical; these can be formally specified in RG terms (section 5). One may conclude (section 6) that RG models are closer to modeling some literarily relevant aspects of language than are the more orthodox linguistic models, for RG models are not forced to ignore particular or even peculiar, indiosyncratic uses of language.

Lost in translation: Language independence in propositional logic – application to belief changeArtificial Intelligence, Volume 206, 2014, pp. 1-24
(Video) Linguistics Or LiteratureWhile propositional logic is widely used as a representation framework for many AI applications, the concept of language independence in the propositional setting has not received much attention so far. In this paper, we define language independence for a propositional operator as robustness w.r.t. symbol translation. We motivate the need to focus on symbol translations of restricted types, introduce and study several families of translations of interest, and provide a number of characterization results. We also identify the computational complexity of recognizing symbol translations from those families. Then we investigate the robustness of belief merging, belief revision and belief update operators w.r.t. translations of different types. It turns out that some rational merging/revision/update operators are not guaranteed to offer the most basic (yet non-trivial) form of language independence.

Endoscopic-Assisted Resection of Benign Tumors of the Accessory Parotid GlandJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Volume 73, Issue 8, 2015, pp. 1499-1504
Modified endoscopically assisted resection of benign tumors in the accessory parotid gland region (APGR) has been reported, and the surgery confers a potential risk of injury to the great auricular nerve. This clinical research study provides an updated approach for the resection of benign tumors of the APGR.
Thirteen cases diagnosed with primary benign tumors in the APGR were treated by endoscopically assisted resection through a margin of the tragus, and its feasibility was evaluated.
All tumors were completely resected. The procedures lasted 45 to 70 minutes (mean, 54 minutes). None of the endoscopically assisted surgeries proceeded to open surgery. The patients were followed for 3 to 14 months, without postoperative complications, including pain, facial or auricular nerve weakness, salivary fistula, infection, tumor recurrence, Frey syndrome, or depression deformity. The scars were concealed and esthetically satisfactory.
Endoscopically assisted resection of benign tumors through a margin of the tragus in the APGR is a safe technique that achieves excellent esthetic and functional results.

Isothermic determination of aqueous solution glucose concentration in low mg/dL range by CW-photoacoustic-based protocolSensors and Actuators B: Chemical, Volume 185, 2013, pp. 568-574
In order to decrease the impact of diabetes mellitus on patient quality of life, noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood glucose level represents the ideal detection protocol for an appropriate decision-making process. The limit of detection of such a sensor should be lower than 70mg/dL for efficient detection of hypoglycemia episodes. However, a reasonable anticipation of loss of accuracy when moving from in vitro to in vivo requires demonstration of sensitivity several times lower than this value in the ideal in vitro conditions for any viable alternative to the standard finger-prick-based method. This paper then investigates the detection of aqueous glucose solutions at low concentration levels based on a measurement protocol called “frequency shift” (FS). This protocol, based on the continuous-wave photoacoustic technique, is equivalent to an acoustic velocity measurement and therefore depends on the temperature as well. A thermo-regulated bath system was then used to control the temperature with an accuracy of ±0.035°C. The sensor showed a linear glucose dependence characterized by a slope of 0.19%/g/dL, which is consistent with previously reported results, and accuracy of about ±26mg/dL was obtained. Using a differential experimental protocol, we were able to improve the temperature control accuracy down to ±0.015°C. Measurements down to a 9.6mg/dL concentration level were demonstrated with an accuracy of ±3.5mg/dL despite a bias from temperature fluctuations equivalent to a ±11mg/dL glucose concentration variation. The FS protocol then enables low milligram per deciliter glucose concentration measurements at levels several times lower than the requirements. However, temperature variations strongly limit the measurement accuracy due to the lack of FS selectivity to glucose. To take full advantage of the proposed approach, temperature should then be monitored simultaneously and its effect compensated to allow comparable sensitivity in in vivo conditions.

Complete Unilateral vs Partial Bilateral Endoscopic Lung Volume Reduction in Patients With Bilateral Lung EmphysemaChest, Volume 142, Issue 4, 2012, pp. 900-908
(Video) Stylistics, Style, How it bridges Linguistics and Literature by Nasim GulIntrabronchial valve placement for endoscopic lung volume reduction is used for patients with severe lung emphysema. Different treatment approaches are unilateral valve placement with the goal of complete occlusion and subsequent atelectasis leading to true volume reduction vs bilateral partial closure aiming for redistribution of ventilation but avoiding atelectasis. In this prospective pilot trial, we compared the efficacy of these treatment approaches.
Patients with severe bilateral heterogeneous emphysema were randomized to two groups. In the first group, patients received unilateral valves aiming for total occlusion of one lobe. In the other group, valves were placed in two contralateral lobes with incomplete closure. In all cases, one-way valves were placed via a flexible bronchoscope. Patients were followed at 30 and 90 days, end points being change in pulmonary function tests (PFTs), 6-min walk distance (6MWD), and dyspnea score as measured by the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea score, as well as quality of life as measured by the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ).
Twenty-two patients were treated in this study, 11 patients in each arm. At 30 days and 90 days, significant differences were seen in PFT and 6MWD, as well as in mMRC and SGRQ scores, in favor of unilateral treatment. At 90 days, FEV1 was improved by 21.4% ± 10.7% in this group, but not in the bilateral group (−0.03% ± 13.9%, P = .002). One patient in the unilateral group experienced a pneumothorax, and two patients in the bilateral group were treated for transient respiratory failure.
Unilateral intrabronchial valve placement with complete occlusion appears superior to bilateral partial occlusion.

When ad valorem tax prevails in international tax competitionInternational Review of Economics & Finance, Volume 46, 2016, pp. 1-9
The studies on capital tax competition have assumed that the governments compete for mobile capital in unit tax, and this assumption is partially justified by Lockwood (2004), which proves that unit tax competition is always welfare superior to ad valorem tax competition within a framework of symmetric tax competition. This paper presents the reexamination of governments' choice on tax method in the framework of asymmetric tax competition. The results show that asymmetric countries do not compete in the same tax instrument, as assumed in the literature. The capital importing countries compete in ad valorem tax, while the capital exporting countries compete in unit tax.

Photoacoustic study of curing time by UV laser radiation of a photoresin with different thicknessThermochimica Acta, Volume 606, 2015, pp. 53-57
This paper deals with the study of the cure of a resin in the presence of a UV laser radiation used as the excitation source, operated at λ=405nm, with an output power of 20mW. The open photoacoustic cell (OPC) technique was used to study the curing of the resins as a function of time. The curing characteristic time values were τ=10.43, 20.99, 30.18, 45.84, 67.59 and 89.55s for the resin thicknesses of 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 and 6000μm, respectively. A parabolic behavior of the resin thickness, as a function of the curing characteristic time, was obtained. UV–vis spectroscopy and infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques were employed to characterize the resin in order to study the optical absorption and the chemical bonds, respectively. Our work has applications in the manufacture of 3D printing parts for applications, among others, in medicine.

FAQs
The relation between linguistics and literary studies? ›
Linguistics finds literature interesting for various reasons. For theoretical linguists (particularly generative linguists), literary texts may manipulate language in ways that offer an insight into underlying aspects of linguistic form.
What is the relation between linguistic and literature? ›The key difference between linguistics and literature is that linguistics refers to the systematic study of a language whereas literature can be defined as the study of written works within a language.
What is the relationship between linguistic form and literary function? ›Linguistics describes the system underlying language use, while literature makes use of the relevant aspects of these linguistic features to express what the writer has to say.
How is it related to linguistics and literary criticism? ›As far as Stylistics linguistics and literary criticism relationship is concerned, it is concerned to make a better understanding of the styles employed in a general literary style. Its main focus is to interpret the rhetorical devices, tropes and devices and about the variety of these devices used in literary works.
What is sociolinguistics and how is it related to the study of literature? ›Sociolinguistics
Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society, how language functions in a community, how people in community use language as well as how this language usage reflects the social identity of the users.
The importance of involving linguistic analysis to literature lies in examining the linguistic features of a text which can contribute a great deal to the readers' understanding. The reason behind paying attention to the linguistic study of literature emerges from the fact that any literary work is a piece of language.
What is the connection between linguistics and poetics? ›Poetics deals with problems of verbal structure, just as the analysis of painting is concerned with pictorial structure. Since linguistics is the global science of verbal structure, poetics may be regarded as an integral part of linguistics. Arguments against such a claim must be thoroughly discus- sed.
What is the relationship between literature culture and language? ›The relationship between language, literature and culture is so strong to the extent that a change in one ultimately affects the other two. Every language is a directly mirrors the culture it serves - a language either enriches or impoverishes the culture it serves.
What is the meaning of linguistic literature? ›Literary Linguistics is a branch of study that does exactly what it says on the tin: it is the interface between Literature and Linguistics.
What is the difference between language and literature? ›Language can be simply defined as the study of sounds, words, and sentences whereas literature is the study of written work. The existence of literature is solely based on language.
What are the differences between stylistics with other linguistics and literary studies? ›
Linguistic style is the style of the actual language, such as whether the adjective comes before or after the verb. Literary style is more about storytelling. This includes things like which tropes and structures are used.
What is the base of linguistic study? ›Phonology, the study of sounds as abstract elements in the speaker's mind that distinguish meaning (phonemes) Morphology, the study of morphemes, or the internal structures of words and how they can be modified. Syntax, the study of how words combine to form grammatical phrases and sentences.
What are the benefits of studying sociolinguistics in your study as literature student? ›When educators combine the study of sociolinguistics to their lectures, it helps the student put things into context. However, it also makes it easier to apply literary theory. Thus, this allows the student to understand the overall text better and provide them with a more well-rounded view of the text itself.
What is the relationship between linguistics and sociolinguistics? ›Sociolinguistics is that branch of linguistics which studies just those properties of language and languages which require refer- ence to social, including contextual, factors in their explanation.
Why sociolinguistics is an important aspect in the study of language? ›Sociolinguists are interested in how we speak differently in varying social contexts, and how we may also use specific functions of language to convey social meaning or aspects of our identity. Sociolinguistics teaches us about real-life attitudes and social situations.
How language is used in literature? ›Literary language is a style or form of language used in literary writing. The intent of this investigation is to disclose how and why literary writers foreground their texts and what meanings and effects are associated with foregrounding, deviation, creativity, Style and aesthetics on literature.
Why is literature and language inseparable? ›“Literature reflects our daily life. Language and literature influence society as they are inseparable and intertwined with human life. Literature is life that we can express through language,” said former professor of English at the Osmania University Annie Pothen.
What types of languages are there in literature? ›...
Here are 10 common figures of speech and some examples of the same figurative language in use:
- Simile.
- Metaphor.
- Personification.
- Onomatopoeia.
- Oxymoron.
- Hyperbole.
- Litotes.
- Idiom.
Stylistics refers to the study of style or patterns used in literary and verbal language whereas literary criticism is the practical implication of literary theory. Criticism follows object approach whereas stylistics has got a subjective approach.
How stylistics is a bridge between language and literature? ›Stylistics is a bridge between linguistics and literature. It is the linguistic study of style applying techniques and concepts of modern linguistics to the study of literature. It is concerned with the available choices and the explanation of the reason for particular choices.
What are the three main branches of linguistics? ›
Syntax - the study of the formation of sentences. Semantics - the study of meaning. Pragmatics - the study of language use.
What are the 3 purposes of linguistics? ›The informative, expressive, and directive purposes of language.
What is the purpose of linguistics study? ›Linguistics is a major that provides insight into one of the most intriguing aspects of human knowledge and behavior. Majoring in linguistics means learning about many aspects of human language, including sounds (phonetics, phonology), words (morphology), sentences (syntax), and meaning (semantics).
What is the relationship between sociolinguistics and education? ›They are more focus to teach the language either second or foreign language words, grammar, and pronunciation (speaking). Learning language with sociolinguistics can help the speakers able to distinguish where, whom, when they speak. Therefore, the teacher should associate the materials to social contexts.
How is sociolinguistics connected with education planning? ›The application of sociolinguistics to educational problems is absolutely essential as it can help us better understand the relationships between languages and schools, and help make necessary improvements in education through the development of a curriculum that would welcome the cultural and linguistic diversity of ...

What is the relationship between literature and literacy? ›It provides the structures and patterns— the engineering— that enable literature to exist. Literacy is the foundation for all word- based communication. Literature, on the other hand, is the art of reading and writing. It is cerebral and visceral— explicit and implicit.
What is the similarities of language and literature? ›| Basis for Comparison | Literature | Language |
|---|---|---|
| Comprises of | Written works with intellectual thoughts and contemplation. | System of Sounds, words, grammar rules, etc. |
| Concerned with | Life Experiences | Discourse |

The relationship between language, literature and culture is so strong to the extent that a change in one ultimately affects the other two. Every language is a directly mirrors the culture it serves - a language either enriches or impoverishes the culture it serves.
How can you relate English language and literature to each other? ›English teachers not only present literature; they also exploit it, because it can generate language as well as exemplify it. Literature is rooted in language and language gets life through Literature. So Literature and language are closely interconnected.
What is the difference between literature and linguistics? ›
Literature is concerned with using language as a form of expression to tell stories and share messages. Linguistics is the scientific study of language itself, how it's formed, how it evolves and how people learn it.
