The contributions contained in this volume offer a multidisciplinary approach into the history of the parts of speech and their role in building phrases and sentences. They fulfill a current interest for syntactic problems for combining recent linguistic theories with the long tradition of the Classical studies. The studies cover a chronological range reaching from Aristotle to Priscian and deal with concepts like ῥῆμα and λóγος, or the two Aristotelian expressions λέξις εἰρομένη and λέξις κατεστραμμένη as well as διάβασις and μετάβασις in Apollonius Dyscolos and the corresponding Latin term transitio and finally the Latin pronouns qui or quis. Through the metalinguistic approach the authors tackle syntactic structures like dependency or government, syntactic features or properties such as transitivity or subject and predicate or the development of the syntactic role of pronouns in introducing relative sentences. Furthermore, in providing testimonies of the historical existence of the controversy anomaly-analogy, the history of this quarrel is drawn from the Alexandrinian tradition to the Latin one with emphasis on the studium grammaticae as a development of an independent field of study.

It is a near truism of philosophy of language that sentences are prior to words---that they are the only things that fundamentally have meaning. Robert's Stainton's study interrogates this idea, drawing on a wide body of evidence to argue that speakers can and do use mere words, not sentences, to communicate complex thoughts.

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering of KIET Group of Institutions, Delhi-NCR organized the 4th International Conference ICCE-2020 during November 28-29, 2020. Information compiled in this book is based on the 114 research papers of excellent quality covering different domains of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering. The subject areas treated in the book are: Satellite, Radar and Microwave Techniques, Secure, Smart, and Reliable Networks, Next Generation Networks, Devices & Circuits, Signal & Image Processing, New Emerging Technologies, having the central focus on Recent Trends in Communication & Electronics (ICCE-2020). In addition, a few themes based on Special Sessions have also been conducted in ICCE-2020.

Embodied conversational agents (ECA) and speech-based human-machine interfaces can together represent more advanced and more natural human-machine interaction. Fusion of both topics is a challenging agenda in research and production spheres. The important goal of human-machine interfaces is to provide content or functionality in the form of a dialo
