Word: free group Part of Speech: noun 1. A group that has a presentation without relators; equivalently, a free product of some number of copies of ℤ. Example: Given a set S of "free generators" of a free group, let S⁻¹ be the set of inverses of the generators, which are in one-to-one correspondence with the generators (the two sets are disjoint), then let (S∪S⁻¹)^* be the Kleene closure of the union of those two sets. For any string w in the Kleene closure let r(w) be its reduced form, obtained by cutting out any occurrences of the form xx⁻¹ or x⁻¹x where x∈S. Noting that r(r(w)) = r(w) for any string w, define an equivalence relation ∼ such that u∼v if and only if r(u)=r(v). Then let the underlying set of the free group generated by S be the quotient set (S∪S⁻¹)^*/∼ and let its operator be concatenation followed by reduction. Example: A subset A of a free group F is called "separable" when there is a non-trivial free factorization F = F₁ * F₂ such that each element of A is conjugate to an element of F₁ or of F₂.

Word: garden path sentence Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From the idiom lead someone up (or down) the garden path, because readers form an interpretation of the sentence which remains plausible until near the end of the sentence, at which point the readers realize that their interpretation cannot be right (they have been led up a garden path) and they must try another interpretation. Pronunciation: /ˈɡɑːdən pɑːθ ˈsɛntəns/, /ˈɡɑːɹdən pæθ ˈsɛntəns/ 1. A sentence that is easily parsed incorrectly when first read, due to the ambiguity of a word or words.

Example: One of the functions of punctuation is to reduce any ambiguity, and readers are less confused by garden-path sentences that are punctuated than by those that are not[…].

Word: Manchukuo Part of Speech: name Etymology: A variant of the Wade–Giles romanization (Man³-chou¹-kuo²) of Mandarin 滿洲國 /满洲国 (Mǎnzhōuguó), from Japanese 満洲国 (Manshūkoku)/Japanese 満州国 (Manshūkoku), under influence from Manchu and Mandarin 滿洲 /满洲 (Mǎnzhōu) + 國 /国 (guó). Pronunciation: /mænˈt͡ʃʊəkuːəʊ/ 1. A puppet state of Imperial Japan, existing from 1932 to 1945, conceived as a Manchu nation-state under the restored Qing dynasty but in reality serving Japanese colonial interests in Manchuria. Capital: Hsinking (Changchun). Example: Originally speaking, the Heilungkiang Valley, amongst other Russian possessions in the Far East, had been within Manchurian domain until the middle of the nineteenth century, when it was absorbed by Russia. For us, therefore, it is difficult to regard all Manchuria now within the territory of new Manchukuo and Russian Manchuria of today separately. Now that the Manchukuo State has become absolutely independent and placed under Japanese protection, so to speak, the destiny of Russian possessions in the Far East may be easily imagined. Example: When evacuation was effected it would be “to the Great Wall”, not to the Jehol boundary. Since the Great Wall dips well into northern Hopei, an area of several thousand square miles was thus added to the territory of Manchoukuo.[...]In actual operation, the cordon sanitaire of the “demilitarized” zone was far from reciprocal. Under the terms of the Tangku Truce, Chinese armed opposition to Manchoukuo was clearly prevented.

Pronunciation: /ˈtʃɑːpɔɪ/, /ˈt͡ʃɑɹpɔɪ/ 1. A traditional bedstead used in South Asia, consisting of a wooden frame bordering a set of knotted ropes. Labels: South-Asia Example: Here is a charpoy on which two can sit, and it is possible that there may, from time to time, be food in that platter.
