These polar concerns ( imitation vs. formalism ) reflect a philosophical and religious situation which has been developing over a long period of time.

This research has been implemented in fluid construction grammar ( FCG ), a formalism for construction grammars that has been specially designed for the origins and evolution of language.

The power and scope of combinatory logic is quite similar to that of the lambda calculus of Alonzo Church, and the latter formalism has tended to predominate in recent decades.

One of China's most important playwrights and directors of the late twentieth century, Zhang Guangtian, has argued that during the Cultural Revolution, the innovations that were encouraged in the Peking Opera — which primarily involved “ the formalism and style of simplification and concision ”— led it into one of its greatest periods.

" In criticism, the rise of " revision criticism " has been part of the pronounced trend away from mid-century formalism.

There is general agreement about Resnais's attachment to formalism in his approach to film ; he himself regards it as the starting point of his work, and usually has an idea of a form, or method of construction, in his head even before the plot or the characters take shape.

There is a history of industrial usage of VDM and its tools and a growing body of research in the formalism has led to notable contributions to the engineering of critical systems, compilers, concurrent systems and in logic for computer science.

It seems to me that this importance is largely due to the fact that with this concept one has for the first time succeeded in giving an absolute notion to an interesting epistemological notion, i. e., one not depending on the formalism chosen.

Lindzen's work on ozone photochemistry has been important in studies that look at the effects that anthropogenic ozone depletion will have on climate .< ref > See for instance the widely cited study The Lindzen and Blake formalism is used in the parameterization of radiative-photochemical damping ( see Appendix A ).</ ref >

Indeed, according to the Kochen-Specker theorem, in the quantum mechanical formalism it is impossible that, for a given quantum state, each one of these measurable properties ( observables ) has a determinate ( sharp ) value.

Bringing together the unevenly shaped raw materials in the geometric structure, Long's works illustrate a recurrent theme, the relationship between man and nature, as he has explained, " You could say that my work is a balance between the patterns of nature and the formalism of human, abstract ideas like lines and circles.

Under the molecular orbital formalism, a typical ground-state molecule has electrons in the lowest possible energy levels.

Resonance has a deeper significance in the mathematical formalism of valence bond theory ( VB ).

Head-driven phrase structure grammar is another linguistic formalism which has been popular in the parsing community, but other research efforts have focused on less complex formalisms such as the one used in the Penn Treebank.

Term functor logic has similarities to Quine's predicate functor logic, an algebraic formalism Quine devised to do first-order logic without quantifiers.

Strict formalism, condemned by realist film theorists such as André Bazin, has declined substantially in popular usage since the 1950s, though some more postmodern filmmakers reference it to suggest the artificiality of the film experience.

The use of attesting witnesses has replaced to a large extent the former use of seals to create a higher degree of formalism ; this explains the traditional formula signed, sealed and delivered and why agreements under seal are also called contracts by deed.

* the formalism is logically founded, i. e., it has a semantics in first-order logic and the inference mechanisms are sound and complete with respect to deduction in first-order logic,

Like the many-worlds interpretation ( MWI ), TI is a ‘ pure ’ interpretation in that it does not add anything ad hoc but provides a physical referent for a part of the formalism that has lacked one ( the advanced states implicitly appearing in the Born Rule ).

He was the inventor of an approach to temporal quantum logic called the HPO formalism, and has worked on loop quantum gravity and quantum geometrodynamics.

Profoundly influenced by his experience fighting in the American Civil War, Holmes helped move American legal thinking away from formalism and towards legal realism, as summed up in his maxim: " The life of the law has not been logic ; it has been experience.

In theoretical physics, the Batalin – Vilkovisky ( BV ) formalism ( named for Igor Batalin and Grigori Vilkovisky ) was developed as a method for determining the ghost structure for Lagrangian gauge theories, such as gravity and supergravity, whose corresponding Hamiltonian formulation has constraints not related to a Lie algebra ( i. e., the role of Lie algebra structure constants are played by more general structure functions ).

So in this instance Einstein was simply wrong, although he did sharply identify implications of the formalism of quantum mechanics that had been previously overlooked.

Various parsers based on the HPSG formalism have been written and optimizations are currently being investigated.

The key advance over Everett's Relative State Interpretation is to regard the conjugate state vector of the Dirac formalism as ontologically real, incorporating a part of the formalism that, prior to TIQM, had been interpretationally neglected.

" Many academic staff in the institution found this legal formalism an unacceptable abdication of managerial responsibility, which demonstrated to some that Campbell, to the end, had always been more interested in cutting a figure as a businessman in tune with the establishment zeitgeist than defending and extending academic values.

This formalism had been applied to physical systems, information systems, organizational behavior, engineering projects and military conflict.

The annihilation and creation operator description has also been useful to analyze classical reaction diffusion equations, such as the situation when a gas of molecules A diffuse and interact on contact, forming an inert product: To see how this kind of reaction can be described by the annihilation and creation operator formalism, consider particles at a site on a 1-d lattice.

This description had in turn been generalized to higher-dimensional spaces in a mathematical formalism introduced by Bernhard Riemann in the 1850s.

This was partly a consequence of the way in which they had been applied ; the revised Algol 68 report contained a much more readable grammar, without modifying the W-grammar formalism itself.

This second kind of symmetry approach has often been used with the Newman-Penrose formalism, which uses spinorial quantities for more efficient bookkeeping.

These demands have posed several problems even legal formalism has been put to the test.

For this second sort of modules, an algebraic net formalism has been adopted.

However Cramer ( see reference below ) argues that " the model has not been compared to other NDDO models to the degree necessary to evaluate whether the formalism lives up to that potential.

The vertebrate model of CPG has been also developed with both Hodgkin-Huxley formalism, its variants and control system approaches.

The formalism has been a valuable tool in tests of general relativity.

Einstein later expressed to Erwin Schrödinger that, " it did not come out as well as I had originally wanted ; rather, the essential thing was, so to speak, smothered by the formalism.

Formalism is primarily concerned with style and how it communicates ideas, emotions, and themes ( rather than, as critics of formalism point out, concentrating on the themes of a work itself ).

Richard Parkinson points out that the hieroglyphic version, straying from archaic formalism, occasionally lapses into language closer to that of the demotic register that the priests more commonly used in everyday life.

The early forms of literary semiotics grew out of formalist approaches to literature, especially Russian formalism, and structuralist linguistics, especially the Prague school.

This section outlines the ideas as to how the standard quantum formalism arises out of quantum mechanics.

Quite the opposite: it was more a question of trying to make a consistent whole out of some enthusiasms, for example for Hilbert's legacy, with emphasis on formalism and axiomatics.

" De Man's earlier essays from the 1960s, collected in Blindness and Insight, represent an attempt to seek out these paradoxes in the texts of New Criticism and move beyond formalism.

After the Civil War, this treatise method, the legal formalism of the school's approach, and Nathan Green Jr .' s unwillingness to make changes, were all considered reasons for Cumberland's drift out of the mainstream.

Deductive databases have grown out of the desire to combine logic programming with relational databases to construct systems that support a powerful formalism and are still fast and able to deal with very large datasets.

Those teachers able to break the formalism and reach out to the students are very highly regarded both by officials and by students.
