The End of the Sentence.
Have we come to the end of the sentence? This essay assesses the role of sentences in the default styles of the chatbots and takes occasion to consider its historical affordances as a form of exteriorization—one that coordinates linguistic elements and bounds revision.

This essay assesses the role of sentences in the default styles of the chatbots and takes occasion to consider its historical affordances as a form of exteriorization—one that coordinates linguistic elements and bounds revision.

Attention to handwriting, word processing, and interactions with large language models shows how vertical layout, modularity, and symbolic substitution interact with sentence-centered prose. Speaking back on behalf of the sentence are Renee Gladman's prose architectures, city-sentences that offer an image of sentence-thinking as a form of life. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
