Rosetta Stone Linguistic Problems
Bozhidar Bozhanov, Ivan Derzhanski · 2013
This paper describes the process of composing problems that are suitable for competitions in linguistics. The type of problems described is “Rosetta Stone”—a bilingual problem where typically one of the languages is unknown, and the other is the native language of the person solving the problem. The process includes selecting phenomena, composing and arranging the data and assignments in order to illustrate the phenomena, and verifying the solvability and complexity of the problem.
