Designing linguistic databases: A primer for linguists
نویسندگان
چکیده
ly, a table represents a relation, defined mathematically as a collection of “tuples” (triples, quadruples, etc.) of values for some attributes. For example, the triple (Dyirbal, dbl, 40) represents the name, ISO code and recorded population of a language. 13 Now that we have more than one table, it is useful to identify them by name.

متن کاملBriefly Noted: Essential Programming for Linguistics
This book is of only marginal use as a Perl primer for linguists or as a university textbook. Thick with explicatory text in 10-point Minion font, some chapters, such as that on references and modules, are consequently very difficult to work through, and are written in sometimes abstruse language (“The other thing is something to do with how we use functions,” p. 55), which further impedes full...
