Редакторы: Andreas Podelski Maurice Nivat The theory of tree languages, founded in the late Sixties and still active in the Seventies, was much less active during the Eighties Now there is a simultanащшюфeous revival in several countries, with a number of significant results proved in the past five years A large proportion of them appear in the present volume The editors of this volume suggested that the authors should write comprehensive half-survey papers This colбйбзеlection is therefore useful for everyone interested in the theory of tree languages as it covers most of the recent questions which are not treated in the very few rather old standard books on the subject Trees appear naturally in many chapters of computer science and each new property is likely to result in improvement of some computational solution of a real problem in handling logical formulae, data structures, programming languages on systems, algorithms etc The point of view adбрпфиopted here is to put emphasis on the properties themselves and their rigorous mathematical exposition rather than on the many possible applications This volume is a useful source of concepts and methods which may be applied successfully in many situations: its philosophy is very close to the whole philosophy of the ESPRIT Basic Research Actions and to that of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science.

Computing Action takes a new approach to the phenomenon of narrated action in literary texts It begins with a survey of philosophical approaches to the concept of action, ranging from analytical to transcendeащшюхntal and finally constructivist definitions This leads to the formulation of a new model of action, in which the core definitions developed in traditional structuralist narratology and Greimassian semiotics are reconceptualised in the light of constructivist theoriesбйбзн In the second part of the study, the combinatory model of action proposed is put into practice in the context of a computer-aided investigation of the action constructs logically implied by narrative texts Two specialised literary computing tools were developed for the purposes of this investigation of textual data: EVENTPARSER, an interactive tool for parsing events in literary texts, and EPITEST, a tool for subjecting the mark-up files thus produced to a combinatory analysis of брпфкthe episode and action constructs they contain (The software tools and all relevant data files will be provided for download on the de Gruyter website) The third part of the book presents a case study of Goethe’s Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten Here, the practical application of theory and methodology eventually leads to a new interpretation of Goethe’s famous Novellenzyklus as a systematic experiment in the narrative construction of action – an experiment intended to demonstrate not only Goethe’s aesthetic principles, but also, and more fundamentally, his epistemological convictions Автор Ян Кристоф Майстер Jan Christoph Meister.
