|
||
established quite early (i.e., before 1970), spreading from such sources as
|
||
the Tech Model Railroad Club, the PDP-1 SPACEWAR hackers, and John McCarthy's
|
||
original crew of LISPers. These include verb doubling, soundalike slang, the
|
||
‘-P’ convention, overgeneralization, spoken inarticulations, and
|
||
anthropomorphization. Each is discussed below. We also cover the standard
|
||
comparatives for design quality.</p><p>Of these six, verb doubling, overgeneralization, anthropomorphization,
|
||
and (especially) spoken inarticulations have become quite general; but
|
||
soundalike slang is still largely confined to MIT and other large
|
||
universities, and the ‘-P’ convention is found only where LISPers
|
||
flourish.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="revision-history.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="pt01.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="verb-doubling.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 3.
