unreferenced date October 2011 The abstractsyntax of data is its structure described as a data type possibly, but not necessarily, an abstract data type , independent of any particular representation or encoding. To be implemented either for computation or communications, a mapping from the abstractsyntax to specific machine representations and encodings must be defined these may be called the concrete syntax in language implementation or the transfer syntax in communications . A compiler s internal representation of a program will typically be specified by an abstractsyntax in terms of categories such as statement , expression and identifier . This is independent of the source syntax concrete syntax of the language being compiled though it will often be very similar . A parse tree is similar to an abstractsyntax tree but it will typically also contain features such as parentheses which are syntactically significant but which are implicit in the structure of the abstractsyntax tree. Algebraic data type s are particularly well suited to the implementation of abstractsyntax.

No footnotes date August 2010 In computer science , higher order abstractsyntax abbreviated HOAS is a technique for the representation of abstractsyntax trees for languages with variable name binding binders . Relation to first order abstractsyntax An abstractsyntax tree is abstract because it is a mathematical object that has certain structure by its very nature. For instance, in first order abstractsyntax FOAS trees, as commonly used in compiler s, the tree structure implies the subexpression relation, meaning that no parentheses are required to disambiguate programs as they are in the concrete syntax . HOAS exposes additional structure the relationship between variables and their binding sites. In FOAS representations, a variable is typically represented with an identifier, with the relation between binding site and use being indicated by using the same identifier. With HOAS, there is no name for the variable each use of the variable refers directly to the binding site. There are a number ... .

For 2003 film Syntax Error film Unreferenced date December 2009 In computer science , a syntax error refers to an error in the Syntax programming languages syntax of a sequence of characters or Token parser tokens that is intended to be written in a particular programming language . For compiled language s syntax errors occur strictly at compiler compile time . A program will not compile until all syntax errors are corrected. For interpreted language s, however, not all syntax errors can be reliably detected until Run time program lifecycle phase run time , and it is not necessarily simple to differentiate a syntax error from a Logic error semantic error many don t try at all. A syntax error may also occur when an invalid equation is entered into a calculator . This can be caused, for instance, by opening brackets without closing them, or less commonly, entering several decimal point s in one number.

Confusing date December 2006 Simpler Syntax is the title of a 2005 book by Peter Culicover and Ray Jackendoff . The authors argue that modern Transformational grammar Minimalism minimalist syntax is going in the wrong direction, adopting ever more complex structures and derivations, and making overly strong assumptions about linguistic universal s. Richard Kayne s theory of antisymmetry is one example they cite. Antisymmetry proposes specifier complement head as the basic Branching linguistics branching order , based on the notion of an asymmetric c command . This leads to rather complex derivations of certain phenomena, such as Heavy NP shift . For Culicover and Jackendoff, the difference in order between 1 and 2 is simply a different ordering of the children of the Verb Phrase . 1 I gave the books I bought yesterday to John 2 I gave to John the books I bought yesterday In antisymmetric theories, a number of movements are required to derive both structures, with the shifted structure in 2 derived by one or more additional movements. Culicover and Jackendoff propose that the syntax syntactic , semantics semantic and phonology phonological components of the language faculty are all generative that is, there is no asymmetric dependence between any of these components. In contrast, it is traditionally assumed that syntax is the only generative component, the function of the semantic and phonological components being merely to interpret syntactic structures.

unreferenced date June 2009 bot yes An abstract structure in mathematics is a formal object that is defined by a set of laws, properties, and relationships in a way that is logically if not always historically independent of the structure of contingent experiences, for example, those involving physical objects. Abstract structures are studied not only in logic and mathematics but in the fields that apply them, as computer science , and in the studies that reflect on them, as philosophy and especially the philosophy of mathematics . Indeed, modern mathematics has been defined in a very general sense as the study of abstract structures by the Nicolas Bourbaki Bourbaki group see discussion there, at algebraic structure and also structure category theory structure . An abstract structure may be represented perhaps with some degree of approximation by one or more physical objects this is called an implementation or instantiation of the abstract structure. But the abstract structure itself is defined in a way that is not dependent on the properties of any particular implementation. An abstract structure has a richer structure than a concept or an idea . An abstract structure must include precise rules of behaviour which can be used to determine whether a candidate implementation actually matches the abstract structure in question. Thus we may debate how well a particular government fits ... is or is not a valid game of chess.
