  Word (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The number of bits in a word (the word size or word length) is an important characteristic of a computer architecture.
Some of the earliest computers were decimal rather than binary, typically having a word size of 10 or 12 decimal digits, and some early computers had no fixed word length at all.
In simple memory subsystems, the word is transferred over the memory data bus, which typically has a width of a word or half word.

 36-bit word length - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This word length was just long enough to represent positive and negative integers to an accuracy of ten decimal digits (35 bits would have been the minimum).
Decimal computers sold in that era, such as the IBM 650 and the IBM 7070, had a word length of ten digits, as did ENIAC, one of the earliest computers.
So the 360's practice of using word lengths that were a power of two quickly became universal.

 Stolfi's Voynich pages - On the VMS Word Length Distribution
A word is an abstract sequence of symbols; a token is an occurrence of a word in the VMS text (delimited by blanks, line breaks, etc.) The length of a word or token is the number of symbols it contains.
This coincidence suggests that the length of a word chosen at random from the lexicon is 1 plus the sum of nine random binary variables.
Assign to each word of the lexicon a distinct binary number, and then write down the positions of the `1' bits in that number, counting from the units place.

 Word Length   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Word length is the original quantifiable trait in stylometry.
Since the 19th century, some scholars have believed word length to be a distinguishing characteristic of an author.
Other scholars have claimed that word length is related more to genre than to individual literary style.

 Word Length Reduction - Benchmark Media
A good word length reduction system will remain inaudible during quiet portions of a recording, even when the playback system is adjusted to achieve high peak sound pressure levels.
Word lengths expand dramatically when more complex operations such as equalization, sample rate conversion, and effects processing are applied.
Long word lengths created by digital signal processing must be shortened before they can be re-recorded or sent to a DAC for monitoring.

 Problem K - GWCF Contest 1 - Math Lovers' Contest
Being the cunning computer scientist that she is, she decides to write an application that will count the length of her words.
Words can be separated by blanks, question marks, exclaimation marks, commas and periods (the punctuation is not to add to the length of the word).
The first column will represent the length of the word (They appear in ascending order) and the second column will represent the frequency of that length of word.

 The Mathematics of Words   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This is defined as a word which does not contain any repeated sequences after allowing for permutations: for example, bacadcabda can be rearranged to form bacadbacad by rearranging its last five letters.
For alphabets of size two, cadences of length 3, 4 and 5 must appear in all words of lengths 9, 35, and 178, respectively, and for alphabets of size three, cadences of length 3 must appear in all words of length 27.
Rephrasing the first result, the longest words containing only two different letters and no cadences of length 3 are only 8 letters long; the only examples of such words are aabbaabb, abbaabba and ababbaba.

 The Balanced Affective Word List Project
I have written a program that allows arbitrary length word lists balanced for affective valence, arousal, word length, and word frequency to be generated using the ANEW list.
As there were very few words in the corpus that could be considered arousing and neutral, or non-arousing and positive or negative, arousal is calculated relative to valence via a median split, excluding the middle 50 words.
It has some minor glitches (e.g., returning too many words for very low numbers of words in a list, not handling numbers of words that are not multiples of 3 or 4 gracefully, etc.).

 word - a definition from Whatis.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In computer architecture, a word is a unit of data of a defined bit length that can be addressed and moved between storage and the computer processor.
A word can contain a computer instruction, a storage address, or application data that is to be manipulated (for example, added to the the data in another word space).
In some architectures, a double word or larger unit is required to contain an instruction, address, or application data.

 The Balanced Affective Word List Project
By collecting these lists of normed words in a single place, I hoped to provide a corpus which will be of use to future psychology researchers.
That is, some used the frequency of any form of the word while others used just the frequency of the given form of the word, and still others used just the frequency of the word as a given part of speech.
This program generates word lists balanced for affective tone (positive, negative, and neutral, with optional inclusion of anxiety words too), as well as word frequency (according to the Francis and Kucera (1982) corpus) and word length.

 Journal of Vision - How the word length effect develops with age, by Bergman, Martelli, Burani, Pelli, & Zoccolotti   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The length effect is interpreted as the signature of a reading strategy based on letter by letter decoding (alphabetic reading), and it is extremely large in dyslexic readers of transparent languages.
English is thought to be acquired through holistic word recognition, and the word length effect has not been systematically investigated on normal and dyslexic English readers.
The length effect is present in both age groups (75 ms and 26 ms per letter, R2=0.70 and 0.88 respectively) and surprisingly similar to that found in age-matched Italian readers.

 Lead Length and Voice in U.S. Newspapers
Itule and Anderson say of lead length: “A summary lead should contain no more than 35 words...the longer the lead, the greater the risk that it will be difficult to read or understand.”8 Stone writes: “Beginners should learn to keep their first-paragraph lead well within the 30-word maximum.
H4 Deviations in lead length and voice are greater for larger papers than for smaller papers (based on the perusal of a single day’s prestige papers, the Stapler and Catalano studies of large dailies, and the Gillman study of smaller dailies).
A mean 23.5-word lead length is well within the traditional expectation of a simple summary lead and is sufficient evidence to reject the first hypothesis, that today’s newspapers deviate from the principle of short leads.

 Fiction Factor - How Long Should Your Story Be?
However, there are certain word lengths that editors prefer to see when submitting work.
Most print publishers prefer a minimum word count of around 70,000 words for a first novel, and some even hesitate for any work shorter than 80,000.
Most publishers accepting shorter works will post their maximum preferred lengths, and novels are generally considered on the strength of the story itself, not on how many words you have squeezed into each chapter.

 POW-r ® Word Length Reduction Algorithm - Millennia Media   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Some of the world's top digital audio designers have come together as a team to create what is being hailed as the audio industry's most transparent and dynamically stable method of reducing digital audio word lengths.
Pow-r, an acronym for Psychoacoustically Optimized Wordlength Reduction, is a unique, patent-applied-for algorithm, which reduces longer word lengths (20, 24, even up to 32 bits), to CD standard 16-bit format while retaining a high degree of perceived dynamic efficiency and very low noise.
The Pow-r design consortium was assembled for the sole purpose of creating the most sonically transparent digital word length reduction algorithms available.

The search string can just be a plain string, such as “gai”, which will return “gaiety”, “assegai”, and “regain”, among other words, but it can also be a regular expression.
The length is tested after any conversions caused by query type, above, so with “consonants only” selected, “tit for tat” will only be found if the word length is set to 6.
To speed things up, however, you may sometimes not want to see the actual words; for example if you’re trying to determine frequency counts.

This is an embarassingly simple template modification but one that has proven useful on my site.
What it does is simply tell the user what the minimum character length for a search term is before they ever submit a search query.
It reduces frustration that arises when a user searches for something under the administrator-defined search length only to be told that their search is under the minumum requirement.
