Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,0, Bielefeld University, language: English, abstract: This Bachelor of Arts thesis contributes to the CREAM project between Novartis Pharma AG and Bielefeld University. Throughout the thesis a method called n-gram modeling will be discovered which supplies its user with information about the frequential use of words. This information will be needed in order to improve a database the CREAM project works on. This improvement is to do with a calculation of probabilities in search queries sent to the database. The thesis consists of five chapters. The first chapter introduces the CREAM project and the database. The second chapter provides the reader with information about the current state of n-gram modeling and where it can be found in contemporary literature. The third chapter deals extensively with how corpora have to be prepared in order to be analyzed accordingly and how n-gram modeling can be computed in terms of frequential distribution of words. In chapter four a computer code will be introduced that uses a corpus to obtain certain n-grams. Finally, in chapter five, the information retrieved by the computer code(s) will be evaluated and a forecast of future work will be mentioned.Due to copyright-protected material, the appendix is not part of the thesis.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Kultur und Landeskunde, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ever since the United States of America has declared its independence, religion has played a pivotal role in shaping the culture and society of this country. There might, arguably, be no other (Western) country in which people's societal stance has been influenced as strongly by religion as in the U.S. The Judeo-Christian belief has entirely met American culture, and American culture has met the Judeo-Christian belief. However, culture is, as we know, not static, but is always in a state of flux, it is always in a state of transition and thus transformation. As to this trans-categorical concept, Alan Wolfe notes the following:Always in a state of transition, faith in the United States, especially in the last half century [.], has been further transformed with dazzling speed 1.[.]1 Wolfe, Alan 14, p. 2.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Literaturwissenschaft - Allgemeines, Universität Bielefeld, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: While creation science has for many years relied on a public verification of the Genesis story with respect to cosmological arguments, less has been said about Genesis with respect to linguistics. Nonetheless, creation science offers a clear-cut contention about the way the languages of the world have come into existence: by a divine artificer. The rejection of Darwinian evolution as means of natural processes of linguistic evolution are subject to creation science. This paper tries to tackle this very assumption by presenting evidence in favor of evolution by natural selection as an impetus for change within languages. Even more so, the paper will briefly deal with the advent of language in human beings as such, providing evidence in favor of a materialistic explanation for why human beings have language.…
