  Introduction
Model languages can be everything from a few words of made-up slang to a rigorously developed system of interrelated imaginary tongues.
Model languages exist on paper or in computer files and may be shared only with a few close friends or may be used to give depth to imaginary worlds read or watched by millions.
Model languages demystify and demythologize the study of language.

 Essay on Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Language is first and foremost oral; speech as a means of communication has been around for perhaps 200,000 years or more, while writing has existed for only about 6,000 as far as we know.
A language is a representational system composed of a set of oral (or, in the case of the hearing impaired, signed) symbols shared by the members of a social group, and a computational system (or grammar) for combining the symbols into phrases and sentences.
They assume that deviation from standard language forms is evidence for a lack of language, and that children "have no grammar." The analytic model of language tells us that all normal human children "have grammar" but that grammar is their own knowledge of their native language, not the rules written down in school books.

 Speech Recognition - Language Modeling
Natural language technology in general and language models in particular are very brittle when moving from one domain to another.
Current statistical language models are built from text specific to newspapers and TV/radio broadcasts which has little to do with the everyday use of language by a particular individual.
We are investigating means of adapting a general-domain statistical language model to a new domain/user when we have access to limited amounts of sample data from the new domain/user.

 Language Modeling and Information Retrieval
In the source-channel approach to speech processing [2], the language model is used as a source model or prior over natural language utterances that the user might make to the system, which is combined with a channel model of how that language is converted into an acoustic signal.
In this model, distributions over documents are estimated for two classes: "relevant" and "non-relevant." Documents are broken down into attributes, in the simplest case indicating occurrence or non-occurrence of individual words, and the attributes are modeled independently, as in the naive Bayes model for classification.
Furthermore, it has been shown how the language modeling approach can be viewed in terms of an underlying relevance model, allowing the approach to be interpreted in a manner similar to the standard probabilistic model [18] [19].

 Cornell News: mathematical model of language death   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
While thousands of different languages are spoken around the world, 90 percent of them are dying and are expected to vanish in the next few decades.
When population figures are plugged in, the model produces a family of curves depending on the value assigned to status, and in each case one of the curves agreed with the published data on language decline.
An example of a situation where the model doesn't work is in the persistence of Spanish in the United States, which he attributes to a constant resupply of native speakers.

 Brent P. Newhall's Home(page) -- The Library -- Model Languages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Model languages are invented languages; languages that have been created solely by a person or group.
Model languages range from the serious, like Esperanto (the proposed "universal language" for the European Union), to the intricate, like Tolkien's Quenya which he created for The Lord of the Rings, to recreational languages just made up for the fun and interest of it.
The Language Construction Kit takes you step-by-step through creating a model language, explaining a lot of the structure of language and suggesting different routes to take.

 Models of Language Teaching
Language instructors at the university level in the United States are often in one of three situations:
This teacher-centered model views the teacher as active and the student as fundamentally passive.
In this learner-centered model, both student and teacher are active participants who share responsibility for the student's learning.

 artificial languages FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
An artificial language is a language that has been deliberately designed by one person or a small group of people over a relatively short period of time.
The model language is then taught to a group of people, and their ability or inability to learn it, or its effect on their brain activity or their perceptions of the world can be analyzed and conclusions drawn.
Tolkien's "elvish" languages, the Klingon language from Star Trek, and the feminine language Laadan from Suzette Haden Elgin's novels are examples of this fascinating social phenomenon.

 Language Representation
Some of the most successful models of the past two decades are the simple n-gram models, particularly the trigram model (n=3) where only the most recent two words of the history are used to condition the probability of the next word.
This is a problem that may be more severe for highly inflected languages and for the oriental languages where the notion of a word is not clearly defined for native speakers of the language.
Incorporating Structure: The current state-of-the-art in language modeling has not been able to improve on performance by the use of the structure (whether surface parse trees or the deep structure such as predicate argument structure) that is present in language.

 A Bilingual Language Production Model
A bilingual language production model should not qualitatively differ from the monolingual model, and yet has to be able to account for the phenomena observed in second language production.
Given that both models can account for the same phenomena, the model with a generalized relation between the two language systems is better than a model with different relations holding at different levels of language processing.
If a model can employ one type of organization between the two language systems regardless of the functioning levels, the model is simpler and thus should be preferred over a model with different types of organization holding at each level.

 E-Ethics Vol. III, No. I
The language to be used in a potential disclaimer must be chosen with the utmost care.
There is far less force to objections to an agreement which lets a firm continue to represent a client in a matter, but which still requires it to keep information confidential from that client, than there is to one which ostensibly lets the firm disclose to its client, critical information disclosed by a prospective client.
Lawyers should adopt language that does what they want it to do: i.e., prevent even those who in good faith seek to hire the firm from disqualifying it from representing another party where that information can be used against that prospective client.

 Crossing borders: Typing strategies beyond the Java model
A type-inferred language determines which type an object might be based on syntactic or structural clues in the language.
In statically typed languages, the programmer (through a declaration or convention) or the compiler (through inference based on structural and syntactic clues) assigns a type to a variable or object, and that type doesn't change.
But the best argument dynamic language proponents can possibly make against compile-time error detection is that the benefit of early detection isn't worth the cost because you've got to test anyway, whether or not you use dynamic typing.

 D3.1v0.1. A Language Neutral Model for Ontology Interchange
This document is organized as follows: Chapter 2 presents the meta model for ontologies to be used for a language-neutral ontology API; Chapter 3 defines the non functional properties and Chapter 4 the use of mediators.
In fact, it is not possible, even with this meta model, to use the same concrete API for different ontology language, because of the particularities of the different ontology languages.
This document presents a meta model for a language-neutral API for Ontology interchange that conforms to the Web Service Modeling Ontology WSMO [Roman et al., 2004], which is currently under development in the context of the SDK project cluster.

 Wisconsin Academic Standards for English Language Arts Introduction
The language arts standards, like those of most states, do not specify a list of authors or works that must be read by all students.
What is most important is that students learn to read well and read enough to meet their various needs and interests, that they have opportunities to read quality literature, and that they love to read.
Finally, although the domain of language arts is divided into six sets of standards for focus and clarity, these divisions, in the classroom and in practical use of the language, are artificial.

 Finding an Animal Model for Language Development   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The development of any animal model is a critical step to learning how genes are involved with a particular disease or disorder.
In the case of autism, scientists have an especially difficult task since the disorder is characterized by marked abnormalities in the acquisition and use of language and very few animals use language on any complex level.
And with both songbirds and humans, vocal learning is believed to occur during a critical developmental window in discrete regions of the brain.
