Online Etymology Dictionary
|
Visite: 494
14/7/2003
|
: In the tradition of that great lover of words, Samuel Johnson, Douglas
Harper (an amateur etymologist) has compiled one of the first free online
etymology dictionaries. The etymologies are compiled in alphabetical order
and parsed into smaller sections for easy viewing. As Mr. Harper notes in
the introduction to the dictionary, "Think of it like looking at pictures of
your friends' parents when they were your age. People will continue to use
words as they will, finding new or wider meaning for old words and coining
new ones to fit new situations." The homepage of the dictionary also
contains a list of abbreviations that will come in handy when looking over
the etymologies, which include such interesting terms as "Ps and Qs" and
"pandemonium." The dictionary also features a search engine and should be
greatly appreciated by students and teachers alike.

: The on-line GIS Dictionary Web site is maintained by the Association for
Geographic Information and the University Of Edinburgh Department of
Geography. The database contains definitions for nearly one thousand terms
related to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This relatively new method
of mapping is becoming more popular and more commonly used by laypersons who
still may need assistance when learning or using a GIS. This dictionary does
a good job of providing a simple way to search or browse terms and acronyms
related to the subject. Results contain brief descriptions and references as
well as a related terms link for additional information.

DePaul Develops Sign Language Translator
|

22/10/2002
|
: A team of faculty and students at DePaul University's School of Computer
Science has created a computer-generated synthetic interpreter capable of
translating spoken English into American Sign Language (ASL). The program,
dubbed "Paula," uses speech recognition and sophisticated animation. Using
the system, a hearing person speaks through a headset connected to the
computer. The animated figure of Paula then translates intoASL through hand
gestures and facial expressions on the computer screen. The project required
four years and more than 25,000 hours worth of work by the project team.
"Most people are not aware that ASL is not simply a signed form of English,"
said Rosalee Wolfe, professor of computer science at DePaul and one of the
leaders of the research team. "It is a series of hand configurations, hand
positions, body positions and movement and facial expressions that are used
in certain specific combinations. Hence, creating an animated translator is
a very intricate and detailed process."
