The present article investigates the stress pattern system of Central Sarawani Balochi (CSB), spoken in Sarawan located in Sistan and Baluchestan province of the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on metrical theory as developed in Hayes (1995). Correspondingly, the present research illustrates the position of primary and secondary stress in mono-morphemic words, verbal paradigms, compound words, ...

Christopher Alexander’s Pattern Language Theory (PLT) has been recognized as a valuable methodology to understand complex systems. It applied across domains through variety of different approaches. This article reviews existing approaches PLT application and reflects upon the differences between them. We find that generally differs four components: artefact, activity, roles tools, informed by p...

the purpose of this paper is to investigate the views of six qur’an commentators, with different backgrounds, i.e., tabresi, zamakhshari, fakhr razi, meybodi, and tabatabaei, in order to find which one the three theories in religious language, i.e., equivocalism, univocalism, and analogous language is more consistent with their comments on quran. to reach this aim, first, the three theories in ...

Trace monitor specifications consist of a pattern that is matched against the trace of events of a subject system. We investigate the design choices in defining the semantics of matching patterns against traces. Some systems use an exact-match semantics (where every relevant event must be matched by the pattern), while others employ a skipping semantics (which allows any event to be skipped dur...

This paper aims to help the writers of pattern languages build better pattern languages. It focuses not on the esthetics of pattern languages, but on their structure: how patterns work together to build a system. The paper assumes that a pattern language is a designed system and, therefore, theory about system design and evolution underlies the language. In particular, the process of symmetry b...
