function definition language fdl and its implementation

A Function Definition Language (FDL) is presented. Though designed for describing specifications, FDL is also a general-purpose functional programming language. It uses context-free language as data type, supports pattern matching definition of functions, offers several function definition forms, and is executable. It is shown that FDL has strong expressiveness, is easy to use and describes algorithms concisely and naturally. An interpreter of FDL is introduced. Experiments and discussion are included.

yet another meta-language for programming language processing

The formal specification language LFC was designed to support formal specification acquisition. However, it is yet suited to be used as a meta-language for specifying programming language processing. This paper introduces LFC as a meta-language, and compares it with ASF+SDF, an algebraic specification formalism that can also be used to programming languages.

combining cfg and recursive functions to get a new language

We propose a new functional programming language(FPL) which differs in some aspects from most well known FPLs[l].We descrihc the prohlmm domain,the language,explain why we need it.

影响汉语阅读能力发展的相关认知因素及其作用的发展变化

The present cross-sectional study paid attention to Chinese reading acquisition of 391 children from preschool to grade 3 in two elementary schools, and investigated the relationship between orthographic processing skills, morphological awareness, phonological awareness, naming, phonological memory, visual processing skill and reading skills, after controlling the variance of age, nonverbal intelligence and pinyin knowledge. The main results are as follows: Firstly, there are many different language skills as the predictors of Chinese reading success. Orthographic processing skills, morphological awareness, phonological awareness and naming are important in single-character recognition and comprehension. Beside them, the effect of visual processing skill and phonological memory for comprehension are also significant. Among them, the role of orthographic processing skills is the most important, whatever in single-character recognition or in comprehension. Secondly, orthographic processing skills are the most important factors in reading acquisition at low grade and its effect drops obviously after grade 2. Thirdly, morphological awareness is also the factor that cannot be ignored whatever for single-character recognition or for comprehension. Its influence appears in preschool and becomes the only significant predictor of character recognition in grade 3. Furthermore, morphological awareness is more relevant with the development of comprehension. Fourthly, phonological awareness plays the secondary role in Chinese reading acquisition except in grade 2 when its contribution is most of all. And compare with morphological awareness, the effect of phonological awareness is relative low. Fifthly, naming is important through preschool to grade 2. The contribution of phonological memory increases from preschool to grade 3 in comprehension.
