11.   A string such as can be parsed into six different word strings even when the word boundary is known.

12.   However, if this is not the case we may find a combinatorial explosion of word strings.

13.   Our objective is to see how many more word strings there are, other than the correct interpretation, spanning a fair portion of the utterance.

14.   In the following chapters we discuss possible ways of reducing the number of word strings.

15.   However, a knowledge of pair-wise transitional probability is often insufficient to select the target word string.

16.   This high branching ratio together with the fairly poor performance of the acoustic-phonetic component could easily produce lattices with very many overlapping, highly probable word strings.

17.   It is important to bear in mind that HWIM and HARPY used only acoustic probability scores and so were particularly susceptible to the effects of homophonic word strings.

18.   The word strings for example, refers to elements which maintain the sense of community of the people.

19.   Also at the lemma level, verbs, nouns and modifiers are put in their proper place in a word string.
