Bigram
A bigram or digram is a sequence of two adjacent elements from a string of tokens, which are typically letters, syllables, or words. A bigram is an ''n''-gram for ''n''=2. The frequency distribution of every bigram in a string is commonly used for simple statistical analysis of text in many applications, including in computational linguistics, cryptography, speech recognition, and so on. ''Gappy bigrams'' or ''skipping bigrams'' are word pairs which allow gaps (perhaps avoiding connecting words, or allowing some simulation of dependencies, as in a dependency grammar). ''Head word bigrams'' are gappy bigrams with an explicit dependency relationship. Details Bigrams help provide the conditional probability of a token given the preceding token, when the relation of the conditional probability is applied: P(W_n, W_) = That is, the probability P() of a token W_n given the preceding token W_ is equal to the probability of their bigram, or the co-occurrence of the two tokens P ...

Digraph (orthography)
A digraph or digram (from the grc, δίς , "double" and , "to write") is a pair of characters used in the orthography of a language to write either a single phoneme (distinct sound), or a sequence of phonemes that does not correspond to the normal values of the two characters combined. Some digraphs represent phonemes that cannot be represented with a single character in the writing system of a language, like the English '' sh'' in ''ship'' and ''fish''. Other digraphs represent phonemes that can also be represented by single characters. A digraph that shares its pronunciation with a single character may be a relic from an earlier period of the language when the digraph had a different pronunciation, or may represent a distinction that is made only in certain dialects, like the English '' wh''. Some such digraphs are used for purely etymological reasons, like '' rh'' in English. Digraphs are used in some Romanization schemes, like the '' zh'' often used to represent the Ru ...

Taixuanjing
The text ''Tài Xuán Jīng'' ("Canon of Supreme Mystery", ) is a guide for divination composed by the Confucian writer Yang Xiong (53 BCE – 18 CE). The first draft of this work was completed in 2 BCE (in the decade before the fall of the Western Han dynasty). During the Jin dynasty, an otherwise unknown person named Fan Wang () salvaged the text and wrote a commentary on it, from which our text survives today. The ''Taixuanjing'' is a divinatory text similar to, and inspired by, the ''I Ching'' (''Yijing''). Whereas the ''I Ching'' is based on 64 binary hexagrams (sequences of six horizontal lines each of which may be broken or unbroken), the ''Taixuanjing'' employs 81 ternary tetragrams (sequences of four lines, each of which may be unbroken, broken once, or broken twice). Like the ''I Ching'' it may be consulted as an oracle by casting yarrow stalks or a six-faced die to generate numbers which define the lines of a tetragram, which can then be looked up in the text.
