  • Cutting the Gordian Knot

    Michael A Covington, Joe D McFallARTICLEJournal of Quantitative Linguistics2010

    Type–token ratio (TTR), or vocabulary size divided by text length (V/N), is a time-honoured but unsatisfactory measure of lexical diversity. The problem is that the TTR of a text sample is affected by its length. We present an algorithm for rapidly computing TTR through a moving window that is independent of text length, and we demonstrate that this measurement can detect changes within a text as well as differences between texts.

  • Recent Advances in Parsing Technology

    Michael A Covington, Harry Bunt et al.ARTICLELanguage2000

    From the Publisher: Parsing technologies are concerned with the automatic decomposition of complex structures into their constituent parts, with structures in formal or natural languages as their main, but certainly not their only domain of application. The focus of Recent Advances in Parsing Technology is on parsing technologies for linguistic structures, but it also contains chapters concerned with parsing two or more dimensional languages. New…

  • Design and implementation of a campus computer ethics policy

    Open AccessMichael A CovingtonARTICLEInternet Research1995

    As the set of people using computers becomes larger and less cohesive, it is becoming important to educate users about their ethical responsibilities. Design of an effective campus computer ethics policy requires awareness of numerous cultural, technical and legal issues. Especially important are the cultural splits between power users and utilitarian users, and between “old world” and “new world” philosophies of computer ethics. Discusses those …

  • A Performance Theory of Order and Constituency

    Open AccessMichael A Covington, John A HawkinsBOOKPerformance Theory of Order and…1995

    In this major new book John A. Hawkins presents a new theory of linear ordering in syntax. He argues that processing can provide a simple, functional explanation for syntactic rules of ordering, as well as for the selection among ordering variants in languages and structures in which variation is possible. Insights from generative syntax, typological studies of language universals, and psycholinguistic studies of language processing are combined …
