  2. Procedural programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_programming

    Procedural programming is a programming paradigm, classified as imperative programming, [1] that involves implementing the behavior of a computer program as procedures (a.k.a. functions, subroutines) that call each other. The resulting program is a series of steps that forms a hierarchy of calls to its constituent procedures.

    v. t. e. Procedural rhetoric or simulation rhetoric[1] is a rhetorical concept that explains how people learn through the authorship of rules and processes. The theory argues that games can make strong claims about how the world works—not simply through words or visuals but through the processes they embody and models they construct.

  4. Speech production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_production

    Speech production is the process by which thoughts are translated into speech. This includes the selection of words, the organization of relevant grammatical forms, and then the articulation of the resulting sounds by the motor system using the vocal apparatus. Speech production can be spontaneous such as when a person creates the words of a ...

    The term linguistic performance was used by Noam Chomsky in 1960 to describe "the actual use of language in concrete situations". [1] It is used to describe both the production, sometimes called parole, as well as the comprehension of language. [2] Performance is defined in opposition to "competence"; the latter describes the mental knowledge ...

  6. Speech coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_coding

    Speech coding. Speech coding is an application of data compression to digital audio signals containing speech. Speech coding uses speech-specific parameter estimation using audio signal processing techniques to model the speech signal, combined with generic data compression algorithms to represent the resulting modeled parameters in a compact ...

  7. Operational semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_semantics

    Operational semantics is a category of formal programming language semantics in which certain desired properties of a program, such as correctness, safety or security, are verified by constructing proofs from logical statements about its execution and procedures, rather than by attaching mathematical meanings to its terms (denotational semantics).

  8. Prosody (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosody_(linguistics)

    v. t. e. In linguistics, prosody (/ ˈprɒsədi, ˈprɒz -/) [1][2] is the study of elements of speech that are not individual phonetic segments (vowels and consonants) but which are properties of syllables and larger units of speech, including linguistic functions such as intonation, stress, and rhythm. Such elements are known as suprasegmentals.

    Example of a JSP diagram. Jackson structured programming (JSP) is a method for structured programming developed by British software consultant Michael A. Jackson and described in his 1975 book Principles of Program Design. [1] The technique of JSP is to analyze the data structures of the files that a program must read as input and produce as ...
