  • Second Revised Proposal to Encode Characters for the English
    JTC1/SC2/WG2 N4079 Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set International Organization for Standardization Organisation Internationale de Normalisation Международная организация по стандартизации Doc Type: Working Group Document Title: Second Revised Proposal to encode characters for the English Phonotypic Alphabet (EPA) in the UCS Source: German NB Author: Karl Pentzlin Status: National Body Contribution Action: For consideration by JTC1/SC2/WG2 and UTC Date: 2011-05-23 Supersedes: WG2 N3981 = L2/11-040, and L2/11-153 Major changes compared with WG2 N3981 = L2/11-040: – Some characters are dropped, as UTC #126 requested unification with existing characters. Accordingly, to close the gaps, most code points are adjusted. – Other feedback received from UCT #126 is considered, either by integrating it or by addressing the raised issues. – The proposed character LATIN CAPITAL LETTER REVERSED SCRUPLE is renamed LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LUNATE EPSILON, to keep it in line with an unifiable character proposed in L2/11-136 and the successor document of L2/11-137. Changes compared with L2/11-153 dated 2011-05-05: – The source is identified again as "Gernan NB", and the status now again is "National Body Contribution". – In the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2/WG 2 form at the end of the document, the answer to question C.2. "Has contact been made to members of the user community?" is answered with "Yes", and some contacts are listed. This is done in response to the concerns of the UTC expressed in WG2 N4059 = L2/11-198. – Otherwise, the text is unchanged. 1. Introduction The English Phonotypic Alphabet is one attempt to give the English language a phonetic spelling and an alphabet which accomplishes this in a way that every sound is represented by a single letter (the words "phonetic" and "sound" translate in today's language roughly as "phone- mic" and "phoneme").

In addition to the known data on GNO and INO, coming mainly from English, Italian, and French, it utilizes data from Czech, a Slavic language with rich inflectional morphology, which enables a novel perspective on how these invisible objects are derived in language. I argue against the predominant view that GNO are syntactically pronouns (Rizzi 1986; Authier 1992a,b), consisting of a D-feature and/or a set of ϕ-features (Landau 2010), and possibly receiving case. Evidence is provided that albeit syntactically represented, GNO consist of a single syntactic node, little n, bearing just the interpretable gender feature, but no number or person features. Rather than pronouns with a fully developed nominal functional projection, GNO should be conceived as conceptually impoverished nouns (i.e.

    Teaching the Ancients to Type: Better Unicode Text Entry for Ancient Greek Steven Tammen Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the support of the University of Georgia’s Center for Under- graduate Research Opportunities (CURO), and the support of my research mentor, Dr. Benjamin M. Wolkow. I would also like to thank all of the Greek faculty and students that completed this project’s research survey. The data from this survey was useful in guiding this project’s progression, and also in motivating its completion. Other people care! Hooray! Finally, I wish to thank my family for all their support and encouragement. I have no doubt talked about key- boards and keyboard layouts enough over the years to drive any group of normal individuals over the edge. But they put up with me nonetheless.

    This is a reproduction of a library book that was digitized by Google as part of an ongoing effort to preserve the information in books and make it universally accessible. http://books.google.com A propos de ce livre Ceci est une copie numérique d’un ouvrage conservé depuis des générations dans les rayonnages d’une bibliothèque avant d’être numérisé avec précaution par Google dans le cadre d’un projet visant à permettre aux internautes de découvrir l’ensemble du patrimoine littéraire mondial en ligne. Ce livre étant relativement ancien, il n’est plus protégé par la loi sur les droits d’auteur et appartient à présent au domaine public. L’expression “appartenir au domaine public” signifie que le livre en question n’a jamais été soumis aux droits d’auteur ou que ses droits légaux sont arrivés à expiration. Les conditions requises pour qu’un livre tombe dans le domaine public peuvent varier d’un pays à l’autre. Les livres libres de droit sont autant de liens avec le passé. Ils sont les témoins de la richesse de notre histoire, de notre patrimoine culturel et de la connaissance humaine et sont trop souvent difficilement accessibles au public. Les notes de bas de page et autres annotations en marge du texte présentes dans le volume original sont reprises dans ce fichier, comme un souvenir du long chemin parcouru par l’ouvrage depuis la maison d’édition en passant par la bibliothèque pour finalement se retrouver entre vos mains. Consignes d’utilisation Google est fier de travailler en partenariat avec des bibliothèques à la numérisation des ouvrages appartenant au domaine public et de les rendre ainsi accessibles à tous.
