In ___MASK8___ , ___MASK29___ is the ___MASK26___ of rules , principles , and processes that govern the ___MASK64___ of sentences in a given language , specifically ___MASK61___ order . The term " ___MASK29___ " is also used to refer to the ___MASK36___ of such principles and processes . The goal of many syntacticians is to discover the syntactic rules common to all languages . Computer science is the ___MASK36___ of the theory , experimentation , and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers . It is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications and the systematic ___MASK36___ of the feasibility , structure , expression , and mechanization of the methodical procedures ( or algorithms ) that underlie the acquisition , representation , processing , storage , communication of , and access to ___MASK44___ . An alternate , more succinct definition of computer science is the ___MASK36___ of automating algorithmic processes that scale . A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems . ___MASK8___ is the scientific ___MASK36___ of language , and involves an analysis of language form , language meaning , and language in context . The earliest activities in the documentation and description of language have been attributed to the 4th century BCE Indian grammarian Pini who wrote a formal description of the Sanskrit language in his "". A referent is a ___MASK25___ or thing to which a linguistic expression or other symbol refers . For example , in the sentence " Mary ___MASK58___ me ", the referent of the word " Mary " is the particular ___MASK25___ called Mary who is ___MASK83___ spoken of , while the referent of the word " me " is the ___MASK25___ uttering the sentence . Contemporary ___MASK13___ is the present period in the ___MASK24___ of Western ___MASK13___ beginning at the end of the 19th century with the professionalization of the discipline and the rise of analytic and continental ___MASK13___ . A propositional attitude is a mental ___MASK22___ held by an agent toward a proposition . Propositional attitudes are often assumed to be the fundamental units of thought and their contents , ___MASK83___ propositions , are true or false . An agent can have different propositional attitudes toward the same proposition ( e . g .,  S believes that her ice - cream is cold , and  S fears that her ice - cream is cold ). The ___MASK54___ proposition has a broad use in contemporary ___MASK13___ . It is used to refer to some or all of the following : the primary bearers of truth - value , the objects of belief and other " propositional attitudes " ( i . e ., what is believed , doubted , etc .), the referents of that - clauses , and the meanings of declarative sentences . Propositions are the sharable objects of attitudes and the primary bearers of truth and falsity . This stipulation rules out certain candidates for propositions , including thought - and utterance - tokens which are not sharable , and concrete events or facts , which cannot be false . The logical form of a ___MASK85___ ( or ___MASK43___ or statement or truthbearer ) or set of sentences is the form obtained by abstracting from the subject matter of its content terms or by regarding the content terms as mere placeholders or blanks on a form . In an ideal logical language , the logical form can be determined from syntax alone ; formal languages used in formal sciences are examples of such languages . Logical form , however , should not be confused with the mere syntax used to represent it ; there may be more than one string that represents the same logical form in a given language . The logical form of an argument is called the argument form or test form of the argument . ___MASK84___ is the ___MASK22___ of ___MASK50___ in which a person thinks something to be the ___MASK52___ , with or without there ___MASK83___ empirical evidence to prove that something is the ___MASK52___ with factual certainty . Another way of defining belief sees it as a mental representation of an attitude positively oriented towards the likelihood of something ___MASK83___ true . In the context of ___MASK56___ thought , two related concepts were identified with regards to the concept of belief : " pistis " and " doxa ". Simplified , we may say that " pistis " refers to " trust " and " confidence ", while " doxa " refers to " opinion " and " acceptance ". The English word " orthodoxy " derives from " doxa ". Jonathan Leicester suggests that belief has the purpose of guiding action rather than indicating truth . In mathematics , computer science , and ___MASK8___ , a formal ___MASK94___ is a ___MASK26___ of strings of symbols together with a ___MASK26___ of rules that are specific to it . In ___MASK8___ , ___MASK61___ order typology is the ___MASK36___ of the order of the syntactic constituents of a language , and how different languages can employ different orders . Correlations between orders found in different syntactic sub - domains are also of interest . The primary ___MASK61___ orders that are of interest are the " constituent order " of a clause  the relative order of subject , object , and verb ; the order of modifiers ( adjectives , numerals , demonstratives , possessives , and adjuncts ) in a noun phrase ; and the order of adverbials . Truth is most often used to mean ___MASK83___ in accord with fact or reality , or fidelity to an original or standard . Truth may also often be used in modern contexts to refer to an idea of " truth to self ," or authenticity .
