The Internet is now the O.E.D.'s perfect home — as revisable and seemingly beyond codification as language itself.
While there must have been a long tradition of grammarians, the final codification of the language is ascribed to Pāṇini (5th or 6th century bc), whose grammar has remained normative for the correct language ever since.
And, this year, Professor Palmar herself, along with other Indigenous leaders, have been working with the government on the creation of an Institute of Indigenous Languages to help with the codification of Indigenous language alphabets and dictionaries.
Presented as a set of detailed yet understandable topics, this text provides a solid foundation for someone learning how to think about computing beyond its mere codification in a programming language.
In particular, they proposed what is called the SBML (System Biology Markup Language), which should allow an unambiguous codification of the different situations that can be found in different kinds of biological networks.
On this view grammars are mere artifacts that are developed by linguists to codify aspects of the relevant systems, and positing an I-language amounts to projecting the linguist's codification illegitimately onto human minds (see, for example, Tomasello 2003).
Different penal and civil codes were applied to Hindus and Muslims, and the codification of these codes in different languages meant that it was virtually impossible for justice to be properly and consistently applied.
Furthermore, we provide precise directives on how to map conceptual domain models in this language to their implementation in less-expressive computationally-oriented codification languages.
Putting to one side -- just for a moment -- the rarefied, though academically interesting, debate over legal standing to represent one side or the other (and it is the anti-same-sex side that seems to lack willing advocates among public officials), the truly remarkable aspect of the case was how the language of understanding and acceptance came to displace the codification of ignorance and fear.
The moves toward codification were, indeed, originally linked to a desire to give the languages international importance, and language teaching, in the Romance ethos, is indissolubly linked to the diffusion of cultural and moral values.
While it is natural to believe that codification consists of taking something that contains entirely new legislative language, breaking it into pieces, and plugging the pieces into the Code (or substituting them for old ones), that is not exactly what happens much of the time.
