Welcome to the J Forums, Linda. As far as Ken's work, there isn't much explicitly written on the subject. I know of the following items:
- http://keiapl.org/anec/#algebra from "Algebra: An Algorithmic Treatment", 1972. - He modeled the organization of the dictionary part of "J Introduction and Dictionary" http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/contents.htm and before that "A Dictionary of APL", http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=36983.36984 on the organization of an English dictionary, in particular the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. (Earlier versions were called "A Dictionary of the APL Language" and "The ISI [Iverson Software Inc.] Dictionary of J") - Of course, he uses noun/verb/adverb etc. where more traditionally in this context the terms array/function/operator are used. This has been very helpful as for example most every one gets "adverb" (run quickly, eat quickly, ...; run quickly, run slowly, run directly, ...) whereas "operator" tends to be confusing and mysterious. ----- Original Message ----- From: linda falkoff <[email protected]> Date: Friday, October 1, 2010 7:43 Subject: [Jgeneral] Looking for links - online or off - between J and natural language (example: English).
