Although deriving much of its semantics from Scheme and other Lisps — some implementations were in fact initially built within existing Lisp systems — Dylan has an ALGOL-like syntax rather than a Scheme-like prefix syntax.

In this stratum we elaborate a " pure grammar " or a logical syntax, and he would call its rules " laws to prevent non-sense ", which would be similar to what logic calls today " formation rules ".

The wording and syntax of this epistle in its original Greek demonstrates that the author was capable and fluent.

It mainly focuses on syntax, including its relation with morphology and semantics.

: Although its syntax closely resembles that of SGML, HTML5 has abandoned any attempt to be an SGML application and has explicitly defined its own " html " serialization, in addition to an alternative XML-based XHTML5 serialization.

HTTPS is a URI scheme which has identical syntax to the standard HTTP scheme, aside from its scheme token.

This language has its own vocabulary and syntax, or rules governing word order, which becomes essential for comprehension when blazoning a complex coat of arms.

Irssi may be configured by using its user interface or by manually editing its configuration files, which use a syntax resembling Perl data structures.

Although some of its commands and responses were similar to IMAP2, the interim protocol lacked command / response tagging and thus its syntax was incompatible with all other versions of IMAP.

The language derives much of its syntax from C and C ++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities than either C or C ++.

The interchangeability of code and data also gives Lisp its instantly recognizable syntax.

It also lends itself to elaboration, because its tight syntax holds even the longest and most complex sentence together as a logical unit.

In Haskell syntax, "" prepends an element to a list, returns a list without its first element, and uses a specified function ( in this case addition ) to combine corresponding elements of two lists to produce a third.

An unusual feature of its syntax was that expressions were constructed using the conventional infix operators, but all of them had the same precedence and evaluation went from left to right unless there were brackets.

Oberon is very much like Modula-2 in its syntax, but is considerably smaller.

A programming language's surface form is known as its syntax.

This is due to a 20th-century development triggered by Ferdinand de Saussure's insistence on the importance of synchronic analysis, and the later emergence of structuralism and Chomskyan linguistics with its emphasis on syntax.

This is one of the fundamental systems which a language is considered to comprise, like its syntax and its vocabulary.

The syntax of QuakeC is based on that of the C programming language, explaining its name, but it does not support the implementation of new types, structures, arrays, or any kind of referencing other than the " entity " type ( which is always a reference ).

According to the Ruby FAQ, " If you like Perl, you will like Ruby and be right at home with its syntax.

Because it is typically one of the simplest programs possible in most programming languages, it is by tradition often used to illustrate to beginners the most basic syntax of a programming language, or to verify that a language or system is operating correctly.

The mechanism is so powerful, that it allowed the implementation of the language by itself, i. e., by an IMP72 source file consisting entirely of syntax statements, which was input to a trivial compiler which was initially able to translate the simplest case of the syntax statement.

A DTD uses a terse formal syntax that declares precisely which elements and references may appear where in the document of the particular type, and what the elements ’ contents and attributes are.

Since Java does not allow errors to be compared as logic elements, as under Icon, the lengthy syntax must be used instead.

Some writers have attempted to defuse the issue by referring to the language as M, square brackets being the customary notation for optional syntax elements.

Sharia law involves elements of a democratic system, namely electoral procedure, though syntax as to what a " democracy " constitutes leaves this in question.

For example, many programming languages provide special syntax for referencing and updating array elements.

In telecommunication, a n-entity is an active element in the n-th layer of the Open Systems Interconnection -- Reference Model ( OSI-RM ) that ( a ) interacts directly with elements, i. e., entities, of the layer immediately above or below the n-th layer, ( b ) is defined by a unique set of rules, i. e., syntax, and information formats, including data and control formats, and ( c ) performs a defined set of functions.

A line of PILOT code contains ( from left to right ) the following syntax elements:

The allowability, form and position of these elements depend on the syntax of the language in question.

Other theories of syntax and grammar ( e. g. Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Construction Grammar, dependency grammar ) reject the presence of null elements such as PRO, which means they are likely to reject the stance that to-infinitives constitute clauses.

Parse trees are distinct from abstract syntax trees ( also known simply as syntax trees ), in that their structure and elements more concretely reflect the syntax of the input language.

Then, providing a localization package for a given language is in itself a non-trivial undertaking, requiring specialized technical writers to construct a culturally appropriate syntax for potentially complicated concepts, coupled with engineering resources to deploy and test the localization elements.

Yorick is good at manipulating elements in N-dimensional arrays conveniently with its powerful syntax.

** Context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding ( CABAC ), an algorithm to losslessly compress syntax elements in the video stream knowing the probabilities of syntax elements in a given context.

** A common simple and highly structured variable length coding ( VLC ) technique for many of the syntax elements not coded by CABAC or CAVLC, referred to as Exponential-Golomb coding ( or Exp-Golomb ).

** Data partitioning ( DP ), a feature providing the ability to separate more important and less important syntax elements into different packets of data, enabling the application of unequal error protection ( UEP ) and other types of improvement of error / loss robustness.

These elements are rendered either explicitly ( i. e. are part of the syntax of the API ), or implicitly ( i. e. are part of the semantic of the API ).

In OCaml, only single assignment is allowed for variables, via the syntax ; however destructive update can be used on elements of arrays and strings with separate < code ><-</ code > operator, as well as on fields of records and objects that have been explicitly declared mutable ( meaning capable of being changed after their initial declaration ) by the programmer.

) This is a specific format which essentially is a plain text version of the original Texinfo syntax in conjunction with a few control characters to separate nodes and provide navigational elements for menus, cross-references, sections, and so on.

He mentions the beats only once '', when he refers to their having revived through mere power and abandonment and the unwillingness to, commit death in life some idea of a decent equivalent between verbal expression and actual experience,, but the entire narrative, is written in the tiresome vocabulary `` of '' that lost `` and '' dying cause, `` and in the '' `` sprung syntax that is supposed to supplant, our mother, tongue.

The poem does not distort the syntax of ordinary speech nor draw on exotic sources of diction, yet it is obviously not ordinary speech -- only Hardy would say `` a grin of bitterness swept thereby ; ;

For example, the term is used to describe systems such as verlan and louchébem, which retain French syntax and apply transformations only to individual words ( and often only to a certain subset of words, such as nouns, or semantic content words ).

Speech is fluent and effortless with intact syntax and grammar, but the patient has problems with the selection of nouns.

It is this latter version, which has some syntax differences from the first as well as support for the Apple II high-resolution graphics modes, that most people mean by the term " Applesoft.

Link Grammar is both a theory of syntax and an open source parser which is now developed by the AbiWord project.

Another way of putting the argument is to say computational computer programs can pass the Turing test for processing the syntax of a language, but that semantics cannot be reduced to syntax in the way Strong AI advocates hoped: processing semantics is conscious and intentional because we use semantics to consciously produce meaning by what we say.

It is extensible through standard features such as Lisp macros ( compile-time code rearrangement accomplished by the program itself ) and reader macros ( extension of syntax to give special meaning to characters reserved for users for this purpose ).

The concept of context-sensitive grammar was introduced by Noam Chomsky in the 1950s as a way to describe the syntax of natural language where it is indeed often the case that a word may or may not be appropriate in a certain place depending upon the context.

In morphology and syntax, a clitic is a morpheme that has syntactic characteristics of a word, but depends phonologically on another word or phrase.

Important features of natural language syntax such as agreement and reference are not part of the context-free grammar, but the basic recursive structure of sentences, the way in which clauses nest inside other clauses, and the way in which lists of adjectives and adverbs are swallowed by nouns and verbs, is described exactly.

The " block structure " aspect that context-free grammars capture is so fundamental to grammar that the terms syntax and grammar are often identified with context-free grammar rules, especially in computer science.

However many of the other features of OOP are ( intentionally ) missing, notably inheritance, and the language is also hindered by a sometimes frustrating if elegant syntax.

For instance, here is the CLU syntax for a cluster that implements complex numbers:

A nonstandard dialect, like a standard dialect, has a complete vocabulary, grammar, and syntax, but is not the beneficiary of institutional support.

The XML DTD syntax is one of several XML schema languages.

If the XML document type declaration includes any SYSTEM identifier for the external subset, it can't be safely processed as standalone: the URI should be retrieved, otherwise there may be unknown named character entities whose definition may be needed to correctly parse the effective XML syntax in the internal subset or in the document body ( the XML syntax parsing is normally performed after the substitution of all named entities, excluding the five entities that are predefined in XML and that are implicitly substituted after parsing the XML document into lexical tokens ).

It is more expressive than XSD, while providing a simpler syntax, but commercial software support has been slow in coming.

Initially, Dylan used a Scheme-like prefix syntax, which is based on s-expressions:
