Space (punctuation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Spaces were not used to separate words until roughly 800 BCE – 600 BCE (see interword separation for more on the history). The term however is usually referred to an empty zone used for interword separation (interword space). In typography there are various kinds of interword spaces, mainly differing in their width. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Space_(punctuation)   (199 words)

Punctuation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Because the interword space has no mark, it is arguably not a "written symbol", but it clearly serves to organize and clarify Latin script writings. A separate consideration should be reserved to tachigraphic language forms such as those used in chats and telephonic short messages. Both Chinese and Japanese use a middle dot to separate words in a foreign name, since native first and last names in Chinese or Japanese are not separated using any punctuation or spaces. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Punctuation   (1992 words)

Word (linguistics) Encyclopedia Article @ 209.68.55.237 Even in writing systems that use interword separation, word boundaries are not always clear; for example, even though ice cream is written like two words, it is a single compound because it cannot be separated by another morpheme or rephrased like iced cream or cream of ice. In most writing systems, a word is usually marked out in the text by interword separation such as spaces or word dividers used in some languages such as Amharic. Similarly, some have separable affixes; in the German sentence "Ich komme gut zu Hause an," the verb ankommen is separated. 209.68.55.237 /encyclopedia/Word_(linguistics)   (1016 words)

Encyclopedia :: Space A contrasting view is that space is part of a fundamental abstract mathematical conceptual framework (together with time and number) within which we compare and quantify the distance between objects, their sizes, their shapes, and their speeds. One view of space is that it is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a set of dimensions in which objects are separated and located, have size and shape, and through which they can move. Mathematicians often study general structures that hold regardless of the number of dimensions. www.hallencyclopedia.com /Space   (2718 words)

Apostrophe Encyclopedia Article @ 216.92.11.26 In Jèrriais, one of the uses of the apostrophe is to mark gemination. In the Hànyǔ Pīnyīn (pinyin) system of romanization for Standard Mandarin, the apostrophe is used to separate syllables in a word where ambiguity could arise. In some cases an apostrophe is not considered punctuation which separates letters, but as a letter in its own right; a letter apostrophe. 216.92.11.26 /encyclopedia/Apostrophe   (2934 words)

Word: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com For information on how and the extent to which word boundaries have been indicated in orthography, see Interword separation. In computing, a word is an integral data type, that is usually (but not always) equal to the size of addresses used by the CPU to access the RAM (that is, pointers).

Interpunct - Free net encyclopedia An interpunct is a small dot used for interword separation in ancient Latin script, being perhaps the first consistent visual representation of word boundaries in written language. The use of spaces for word separation didn't appear until much later, sometime between 600 and 800 AD. Interpuncts are often used to separate foreign words written in Katakana, eg. www.netipedia.com /index.php/Interpunct   (410 words)

The Space character (ASCII value 32) is used as the blank separating words (same as Orthographic space), and corresponds to the spacebar on the keyboard. The memory space of a computer is often thought as a one dimensional array of memory cells. www.ipedia.com /space.html   (615 words)

Ellipsis Encyclopedia Article @ IntAdopt.com There is no such thing as a "four-dot ellipsis." A period followed by an ellipsis may look like four dots, but they are two separate entities. Although some write ellipses without spaces, some institutions, such as the Oxford University Press, place spaces before the ellipsis. www.intadopt.com /encyclopedia/Ellipsis   (1354 words)
