Featural approaches ( Tversky, 1977 ) were developed to address limitations of the mental distance approaches.

Featural approaches assumed that people represent concepts by lists of features that describe properties of the items.

Note that the scripts mentioned above are not considered proper alphabets, as they all lack characters representing vowels.

These vowelless alphabets are called abjads, currently exemplified in scripts including Arabic, Hebrew, and Syriac.

Beyond the logographic Chinese writing, many phonetic scripts are in existence in Asia.

Most alphabetic scripts of India and Eastern Asia are descended from the Brahmi script, which is often believed to be a descendant of Aramaic.

Examples of present-day abjads are the Arabic and Hebrew scripts ; true alphabets include Latin, Cyrillic, and Korean hangul ; and abugidas are used to write Tigrinya, Amharic, Hindi, and Thai.

The boundaries between the three types of segmental scripts are not always clear-cut.

Such scripts are to tone what abjads are to vowels.

For most of these scripts, regardless of whether letters or diacritics are used, the most common tone is not marked, just as the most common vowel is not marked in Indic abugidas ; in Zhuyin not only is one of the tones unmarked, but there is a diacritic to indicate lack of tone, like the virama of Indic.

These scripts are thought to derive from the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet ( dated to about 1500 BC ), which is thought to derive from Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Some writing systems of the world, notably the Arabic and Hebrew scripts, and derived systems such as the Urdu, Persian, Yiddish, Jawi, and Ladino scripts, are written in a form known as right-to-left ( RTL ), in which writing begins at the right-hand side of a page and concludes at the left-hand side.

In particular, the Unicode standard provides foundations for complete BiDi support, with detailed rules as to how mixtures of left-to-right and right-to-left scripts are to be encoded and displayed.

There are very few scripts that can be written in either direction.

Distributions will often contain installation scripts ( usually called Makefile. PL or Build. PL ) and test scripts which can be run to verify the contents of the distribution are functioning properly.

* Wordfilter, generic name for scripts typically used on Internet forums or chat rooms that automatically scans users ' posts or comments as they are submitted and automatically changes or censors particular words or phrases

Such files are known as CGI scripts ; they are programs, often stand-alone applications, usually written in a scripting language.

Another popular convention is to use filename extensions ; for instance, if CGI scripts are consistently given the extension < tt >. cgi </ tt >, the web server can be configured to interpret all such files as CGI scripts.

The stones are sometimes inscribed in Latin, sometimes in both scripts.

In this view expertise is socially constructed ; tools for thinking and scripts for action are jointly constructed within social groups enabling that group jointly to define and acquire expertise in some domain.

The only reading material that the society now accepts are captionless comics, three-dimensional sex magazines, trade magazines, and scripts used during the interactive plays on the parlor walls.

Best known for his novels including Brave New World and a wide-ranging output of essays, Huxley also edited the magazine Oxford Poetry, and published short stories, poetry, travel writing, film stories and scripts.

Cyrillic is one of the most widely used modern alphabetic scripts, and is notable for its use in Slavic languages and also for other languages within the former Soviet Union.

In a culture that set a high value on oratory and public performances of all kinds, in which the production of books was very labor-intensive, the majority of the population was illiterate, and where those with the leisure to enjoy literary works also had slaves to read for them, written texts were more likely to be seen as scripts for recitation than as vehicles of silent reflection.

It was also possible to control screen and " rainbow " effects using AMAL scripts.

Numerous other ethnographic techniques have resulted in ethnographic writing or details being preserved, as cultural anthropologists also curate materials, spend long hours in libraries, churches and schools poring over records, investigate graveyards, and decipher ancient scripts.

Some non-alphabetic scripts also employ symbols that function essentially as diacritics.

In addition to the relatively looser constraints on character and message at lower budgets, the nature of B production lent itself to the noir style for directly economic reasons: dim lighting not only saved on electrical costs but helped cloak cheap sets ( mist and smoke also served the cause ); night shooting was often compelled by hurried production schedules ; plots with obscure motivations and intriguingly elliptical transitions were sometimes the consequence of hastily written scripts, of which there was not always enough time or money to shoot every scene.

Toshifumi Kawase also wrote three scripts in the latter part of the first half of the series.

He also worked on the scripts for Honesty-The Best Policy in 1926 and Joseph von Sternberg's Underworld in 1927, famous for being one of the first gangster film.

It also introduced minor enhancements to the game engine, mostly related to user interface, level scripts, particle effects ( rain or snow ), and 3D objects.

Many early typefaces were modelled on local forms of writing or derived from the various European forms of Gothic script, but there were also some derived from documentary scripts ( such as most of Caxton's types ), and, particularly in Italy, types modelled on handwritten scripts and calligraphy employed by humanists.

On the other hand, while minuscule scripts can be written with pen-lift, they may also be cursive, that is, use little or no pen-lift.

He also noticed that these characters resembled the equivalent ones in the Demotic script, and went on to note as many as 80 similarities between the hieroglyphic and demotic texts on the stone, an important discovery because the two scripts were previously thought to be entirely different from one another.

He was also the primary author of most of the scripts, although he co-wrote many scripts with various collaborators, most notably Larry Stephens and Eric Sykes.

Server-side scripting also enables the website owner to reduce user access to the source code of server-side scripts which may be proprietary and valuable in itself.

In other Indic scripts, it is generally preferred to use a ligature or a half form to write a syllable or a cluster containing a dead consonant, although writing it with a visible virama is also possible.

Tifinagh (, also written in the Berber Latin alphabet, in Neo-Tifinagh, and in the Berber Arabic alphabet ) is a series of abjad and alphabetic scripts used by some Berber peoples, notably the Tuareg, to write their languages.

Barker also published extensively on scripts for other languages of Tékumel.

CVS can also run external, user-specified log processing scripts following each commit.

Subjects from the Middle East hired into administrative functions would also often use Persian or Arabic scripts to write their Mongolian language documents.

The Egyptians also made use of birds in their hieroglyphic scripts, many of which, though stylized, are still identifiable to species.

Some of the scripts written for Hancock by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson almost repudiated a narrative structure altogether and attempted to reproduce an everyday environment with the intention of also reproducing its comedy.
