	Productivity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Productivity (linguistics), the degree to which a grammatical process can be extended to new cases.
		Productivity (corporate finance), the current year's sales to expense ratio over the previous year's sales to expense ratio.
		Productivity (economics), the amount of output created produced per unit input used.

	Productivity (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Karl Marx's labour theory of value, the concept of capital productivity is rejected as an instance of reification, and replaced with the concepts of the organic composition of capital and the value product of labor.
		Unlike labor productivity, the calculation of both capital productivity and total factor productivity is dependent on a number of doubtful assumptions and is subject to the Cambridge critique.
		All else constant, it benefits a business to improve productivity, which over time lowers cost and (hopefully) improves ability to compete and make profit.

	Agriculture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Agriculture is the process of producing food, feed, fiber and other desired products by the cultivation of certain plants and the raising of domesticated animals (livestock).
		Agricultural chemistry deals with other vital farming concerns, such as the application of fertilizer, insecticides (see Pest control), and fungicides, soil makeup, analysis of agricultural products, and nutritional needs of farm animals.
		Agriculture is also short for the study of the practice of agriculture—more formally known as agricultural science.

	Productivity: a key concept in Economics
		Economic productivity usually shows a pro-cyclical behaviour, while at the same time it is necessary to distinguish smaller sub-phases and wider multiplicity of paths than in the case of other variables.
		Economic productivity is the value of output obtained with one unit of input.
		Average economic productivity is computed by dividing output value and (time/physical) units of input.

	SWLResume
		Productivity is the generative ability to use the finite workings of language to create an infinite number of concepts.
		The study of language, linguistics, was once a member of the anthropological field but has become so large that it is often talked of as it's own field of study.
		Broca's Area is believed to take part in the production of speech while, Wernicke's Area is thought to be involved in the understanding of it (Gross, pp 167).

	Psyolang.doc
		Productivity refers to the fact that an infinite number of utterances are possible in any natural language.
		The linguist's task is to develop a theory of competence; the psychologists job is to develop a theory of performance.
		They provide a means of achieving one important goal of linguistics: to devise a grammar that (a) generates all the acceptable sentences of the language, (b) avoids generating any unacceptable sentences, and (c) represents intuitions about the structure of such sentences.

	Linguistics Department Long-Range Plan
		Linguistics majors satisfy the requirement by achieving a level of language competence equivalent to six quarters of language study at UCSC (three quarters for Latin or Greek) or by demonstrating an equivalent level of competency through a recognized language test or evidence of credit from another institution.
		Linguistics currently has 25 graduate students, and our goal is to increase this number by 50% by the end of the decade to a total of approximately 37 students, as shown in the planning chart.
		Linguistics at UCSC is a relatively small department with a focus in theoretical linguistics.

	Productivity, by Sylvia Nasar: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Second, although U.S. productivity is still the highest in the world by a wide margin—$45,918 of GNP per worker in 1990, 25 percent ahead of Japan and 35 percent ahead of Germany—its productivity growth trailed that of other nations in most years since World War II.
		Increases in labor productivity can reflect the fact that each worker is better equipped with capital—a supermarket clerk who has an automatic scanner instead of an old-fashioned cash register—or, alternatively, gains in total factor productivity.
		Some economists think the spurt of productivity growth after World War II was due to the backlog of ideas and technology and investment projects that were put on hold during the depression and World War II.

	AllRefer.com - productivity (Economics: Terms And Concepts) - Encyclopedia
		Productivity in the United States rose an average of 2.5% each year in the 1950s and 60s, then only 1% per year during the 1970s and 80s.
		During the 1990s annual productivity increases ranged from 3.2% to 4.2%, but during much of the decade these increases were matched or surpassed by those in many European countries and Japan.
		A high national productivity typically indicates efficient production of goods and services and a competitive economy, but productivity growth can occur during periods of recession and increased unemployment as businesses cut jobs and seek to become more efficient.

	20th Scandinavian Conference of Linguistics
		A closer investigation of the adjective productive reveals that the term is used in at least 13 different ways in the linguistic literature and that at least two, if not three, different concepts of productivity are the basis for these different usages, i.e.
		On this view syntactic productivity is taken to be predictable from a constructions type frequency and semantic coherence and the inverse correlation between the two.
		It has also been a cause of dispute whether productivity is an all-or-nothing phenomenon or whether it is gradable.

	Linguistics
		Productivity refers to the fact that unlike animal communication which is stereotypic, human language permits an infinite number of rearrangements of its elements.
		Given the productivity of language, it must be something about its lawfulness and structure that makes it possible to comprehend the infinite number of sentences we have never heard before.
		Notice that the theory responds to both questions of competence and productivity.

	Homepage R. H. Baayen
		The term 'morphological productivity' is generally used informally to refer to the number of words in use in a language community that a rule describes.
		For a proper understanding of the intriguing phenomenon of morphological productivity, I believe it is crucial to distinguish between (a) language-internal, structural factors, (b) processing factors, and (c) social and stylistic factors.
		Baayen (1994, JQL) is a study exploring the potential of a productivity measure for distinguishing different text types.

		This may be what Burrows included in his term productivity.
		Therefore, the conflict between evolutionary biology and creationism is highly parallel to the (potential) conflict between (evolutionary or historical) linguistics and creationism.
		As a science, Linguistics is in conflict with Creationism (a religion).

	Translation Research Group - TTT.org: Barker Lecture
		If it is true that mainstream linguistics does not really deal with the general vocabulary in all its richness, then it should be no shock to learn that it ignores the basic fact we have been exploring, namely, that a word can have several meanings, even within the same grammatical category.
		In linguistics, the reduction of language to grammar separated from meaning is a highly unwarranted instance of reductionism.
		In fact, it has been a firm principle of mainstream linguistics for many years that the proper object of study is a single sentence in isolation, stripped of its context, its purpose, and its audience.

	Language Structure
		Productivity refers to the fact that an infinite number of utterances are possible in any language.
		Linguistic intuitions are judgments about the nature of linguistic utterances or about the relationships between linguistic utterances.
		According to Chomsky, the linguist’s task is to develop a theory of competence; the psychologist’s task is to develop a theory of performance.

	UCSB Catalog: Linguistics
		The linguistics program focuses on the discovery of general, theoretically significant explanations of why languages are structured as they are, why they change as they do, and in what ways linguistic structures are shaped by the nature of the communication process.
		Students entering the graduate program in linguistics typically have completed with a minimum grade-point average of 3.5 the equivalent of a linguistics B.A. or the equivalent of a linguistics minor with a major in a related area, such as anthropology, psychology, or a language.
		Linguistics 20, Japanese 1-6 (or 7N) and 120A-B-C. In addition, the completion of the third quarter of a second foreign language is also required.

	The Neoclassical Theory of Distribution
		As such, loose critics have gone on to "prove" that the marginal productivity theory is contradictory because it claims that factor prices are determined by marginal products and yet the theory of production tells us quite the opposite, namely that the amount of factors employed (and thus their marginal products) depend on factor prices.
		So, in sum, the marginal productivity theorem of distribution says that if all factors are paid their marginal products, then the sum of factor incomes will add up to total product.
		In this case, it may be impossible to measure the marginal product of a factor type (one can visualize this by attempting to determine the slope of the Leontief isoquant at the corner).

	TCS Daily - How Powerful Is Productivity?
		Productivity of a country in total -- the average productivity -- is the average productivity of every single worker.
		If they had productivity four times as high, they basically could make money even though they paid taxes and their competitors didn't because the taxes themselves were so low.
		And so the story in retailing is how many of these high productivity formats are part of the mix of stores in retailing and how much of retailing is still like it was in 1950.

		The key is that the taxpayers are purchasing products that are substantially the same as the products on the farm.
		The taxpayers do not purchase the products directly from the farmer or rancher, but purchase them from another person who has partially processed the products from the original form they were in when on the farm or ranch.
		While the products may have been physically altered by the initial processing, the products have not yet undergone significant changes from their state on the farm.
