CELT vs. mKR   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #432 of 712 |
I haven't finished reading your first CELT paper yet,
but I am so excited about the comparison
that I wanted to email you.

Your Controlled English (CE) and my Simple English (SE)
face the same problems, but my solutions are completely
different.

Some English inflections are redundant. In spoken language,
the redundancy can be used for error correction,
but it's not necessary for written language.

1. SE has no inflections/morphology.
2. SE number info. is stated explicitly by quantifiers.
3. SE tense info. is stated explicitly as part of context:
at time=t { ... };
You can use general terms like past, present, future, now
or specific terms like 11:47 AM PST July 23, 2008.
4. SE anaphora info. is stated explicitly in a context
at view=v { he is John Doe; ...};

Finally, note that
mKR = Simple English + UNIX shell + epistemology
mKR includes logic, procedures, definitions, context,
lists, sets, enumerations, relations, hierarchies.
