Language Toolkit tutorial

Multifaceted interactive analysis of languages and processes

Tutorial at NAPhCxiii by Dakotah Lambert

An analysis of a language or process is tied to the analyst's perspective on which kinds of structures and connections underlie that language or process.  Other perspectives yield other analyses.  Some are logically equivalent, while others might only result in the same pattern over the supposed alphabet.  We detail a small hierarchy of classes based on logical systems, and connect these logical concepts to mathematical tools.  These tools and techniques are the foundation upon which the Language Toolkit is built.  We discuss the use of this software and related technologies for multifaceted interactive analysis of languages and processes.
