Ten years later, now less gangly but no less introspective, he was finishing a two-year stint in the army in West Germany and heading toward Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship, having narrowly escaped combat in the Berlin crisis of 1961. His quietly intense coming-of-age story is both self-revealing and reflective of an entire generation of young menSingular lives.Cold WarUnited StatesPolitics and government1945-1989EuropePolitics and government1945-Electronic books.Cold War.973.92973.92092Post Gaines1937-986309MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456112903321Memoirs of a Cold War son2254246UNINA03602nam 2200757Ia 450 991078280040332120230721004252.01-282-19674-X97866121967443-11-020710-910.1515/9783110207101(CKB)1000000000691455(EBL)364657(OCoLC)476196916(SSID)ssj0000102864(PQKBManifestationID)11109213(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000102864(PQKBWorkID)10060421(PQKB)11457301(MiAaPQ)EBC364657(DE-B1597)34456(OCoLC)1013939009(OCoLC)1037982616(OCoLC)1042030719(OCoLC)1046616910(OCoLC)1047000136(OCoLC)1049630578(OCoLC)1054881514(OCoLC)703226872(DE-B1597)9783110207101(Au-PeEL)EBL364657(CaPaEBR)ebr10256682(CaONFJC)MIL219674(EXLCZ)99100000000069145520080221d2008 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrAnalyses of script[electronic resource] properties of characters and writing systems /edited by Gabriel Altmann, Fan FengxiangBerlin ;New York Mouton de Gruyterc20081 online resource (184 p.)Quantitative linguistics,0179-3616 ;63Description based upon print version of record.3-11-019641-7 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

For the first time, quantitative methods are introduced into this area of research in a systematic way. The individual contributions give an overview about quantitative properties of symbols and of writing systems, introduce methods of analysis, study individual writing systems as used for different languages, set up an explanatory model of phenomena connected to script development/evolution, and give a perspective to a general theory of writing systems.Quantitative linguistics ;v. 63.WritingMathematical modelsMathematical linguisticscorpus linguistics.writing systems.WritingMathematical models.Mathematical linguistics.411Altmann Gabriel683189Fan Fengxiang1950-1520018MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782800403321Analyses of script3758455UNINA
