Topic: Synonymous substitution


  
  Race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thus, the concept of "race" afforded by these techniques is synonymous with ancestry, broadly understood.
Today, the word "Latino" is often used as a synonym for "Hispanic" (the identification of Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas as "Latin America" was first promoted by supporters of Maximilian as emperor of Mexico in 1864.
Maximilian was installed by the French emperor Napoleon III as a way of extending French influence in the Americas; since French and Spanish are both derived from Latin, the French identified Spanish-speakers as "Latin" in order to emphasize a fictive kinship with the French, and in the hope — unfulfilled — of legitimating Maximilian).

About 1300 also the expression mater universitas was used by the Oxford masters, and these may have taken it from a document of Innocent IV (6 Oct., 1254) in which the pope speaks of Oxford as faecunda mater.
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, various modifications were introduced in the courses of study; new chairs were founded and the financial condition improved.

 The Church-Turing Thesis
‘Effective’ and its synonym ‘mechanical’ are terms of art in these disciplines: they do not carry their everyday meaning.
The expression "machine process" of course means one which could be carried out by the type of machine I was considering [in Turing (1936)].
Thus when, a few pages later, he asserts that "machine processes and rule of thumb processes are synonymous" (1947: 112), he is to be understood as advancing the Church-Turing thesis (and its converse), not a version of thesis M. Unless his intended usage is borne in mind, misunderstanding is certain to ensue.
