In anthropology, high-context culture and low-context culture are ends of a continuum of how explicit the messages exchanged in a culture are and how important the context is in communication. The distinction between cultures with high and low contexts is intended to draw attention to variations in both spoken and non-spoken forms of ...
Context-free grammar. Simplified excerpt of the formal grammar [1] for the C programming language (left), and a derivation of a piece of C code (right) from the nonterminal symbol . Nonterminal symbols are blue and terminal symbols are red. In formal language theory, a context-free grammar ( CFG) is a formal grammar whose production rules can ...
A context menu (also called contextual, shortcut, and pop up or pop-up menu) is a menu in a graphical user interface (GUI) that appears upon user interaction, such as a right-click mouse operation. A context menu offers a limited set of choices that are available in the current state, or context, of the operating system or application to which ...
Context (linguistics) In semiotics, linguistics, sociology and anthropology, context refers to those objects or entities which surround a focal event, in these disciplines typically a communicative event, of some kind. Context is "a frame that surrounds the event and provides resources for its appropriate interpretation".
Context-sensitive language. In formal language theory, a context-sensitive language is a language that can be defined by a context-sensitive grammar (and equivalently by a noncontracting grammar ). Context-sensitive is known as type-1 in the Chomsky hierarchy of formal languages.
Context-free language. In formal language theory, a context-free language ( CFL ), also called a Chomsky type-2 language, is a language generated by a context-free grammar (CFG). Context-free languages have many applications in programming languages, in particular, most arithmetic expressions are generated by context-free grammars.
Héloïse ( French: [elɔ.iz]; c. 1100–01? [1] – 16 May 1163–64?), variously Héloïse d' Argenteuil [2] or Héloïse du Paraclet, [2] was a French nun, philosopher, writer, scholar, and abbess . Héloïse was a renowned "woman of letters" and philosopher of love and friendship, as well as an eventual high-ranking abbess in the Catholic ...
Context-sensitive grammar. A context-sensitive grammar ( CSG) is a formal grammar in which the left-hand sides and right-hand sides of any production rules may be surrounded by a context of terminal and nonterminal symbols. Context-sensitive grammars are more general than context-free grammars, in the sense that there are languages that can be ...
