Scratch Language of Programming vs English Language: Comparing Mathematical and Linguistic Features

Abstract

This paper focuses on Scratch language of programming and traces its math and linguistic features. From a complex consideration about Scratch language programming in linguistic paradigm, focusing on structural, semantic and syntactic features and logic of its narration, this research attempts to clarify specifics of the language and correlate it with the English language features. Global integration of ideas and sciences underline the crucial importance of programming and language conglomerate. Human-computer interfaces, software systems, and development of various programming languages depend on well-balanced structure, shape, logic, and appearance of the actual code. Dynamic characteristics of the Scratch programming environment sustain the creation of interactive and media-rich projects. Ad expansion of Scratch for mediation of animated stories, music videos, science projects, tutorials, and other contents necessitates multifaceted analysis of this programming environment and evokes

Quadronimic interpretation of English-language digital discourse

“…EDD quadrants can be compared with Serpinsky's Carpet, which is a set of fractals. Its recursiveness can be embedded in the programming languages (Lazebna et al, 2019). For example, in the Python programming language, Serpinsky's Carpet will look like this: axiom = "YF" rules = {"X":"YF+XF+Y", "Y":"XF-YF-X"} iterations = 1 # TOP: 10 angle = 60 х [habr.…”

Enhancement of Educators’ Digital Competences in the Acquisition Programming Fundamentals in Programming Environment Scratch

“…Scratch is a popular choice of block-based programming languages (Logan, 2019) that consists of a dynamic, attractive, colourful, and simple graphical interface, offering work on projects relevant to everybody's interests such as animations, games, dialogues, simulations, various activities and interactive comics, and share them with the community (Beer & Simmons, 2015). The dynamic features of the Scratch programming environment provide the creation of interactive and media-rich projects (Lazebna, Fedorova, & Kuznetsova, 2019).…”
