  2. Simile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simile

    The first defines them as opposites, such that a statement cannot be both a simile and a metaphor — if it uses a comparison word such as "like" then it is a simile; if not, it is a metaphor. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 2 ] [ 4 ] The second school considers metaphor to be the broader category, in which similes are a subcategory — according to which every ...

    Alternatively, the distinction may be between coronal or dorsal consonants like /k/ and labial consonants like /b/. [21] Additionally, it was shown that it is not only different consonants (e.g., voiceless versus voiced) and different vowel qualities (e.g., /a/ versus /i/) that play a role in the effect, but also vowel quantity (long versus ...

  4. Semantic similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_similarity

    Semantic similarity is a metric defined over a set of documents or terms, where the idea of distance between items is based on the likeness of their meaning or semantic content [citation needed] as opposed to lexicographical similarity.

  5. Matrix similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_similarity

    Similarity of matrices does not depend on the base field: if L is a field containing K as a subfield, and A and B are two matrices over K, then A and B are similar as matrices over K if and only if they are similar as matrices over L. This is so because the rational canonical form over K is also the rational canonical form over L. This means ...

    As of the 2018 tax year, Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, is the only form used for personal (individual) federal income tax returns filed with the IRS.

  7. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    The acronym's procedural application does not match experts' intuitive understanding of mathematical notation: mathematical notation indicates groupings in ways other than parentheses or brackets and a mathematical expression is a tree-like hierarchy rather than a linearly "ordered" structure; furthermore, there is no single order by which ...

  8. English verbs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_verbs

    The base form or plain form of an English verb is not marked by any inflectional ending.. Certain derivational suffixes are frequently used to form verbs, such as -en (sharpen), -ate (formulate), -fy (electrify), and -ise/ize (realise/realize), but verbs with those suffixes are nonetheless considered to be base-form verbs.

  9. Second-order logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_logic

    Predicate logic was introduced to the mathematical community by C. S. Peirce, who coined the term second-order logic and whose notation is most similar to the modern form (Putnam 1982). However, today most students of logic are more familiar with the works of Frege , who published his work several years prior to Peirce but whose works remained ...
