contraction rule

The contraction rules cannot be used when it would make a problem with a prefix or suffix on the word.

A contraction rule is made having larger divisions than standard measures to allow for shrinkage of a metal casting.

"Predicate and set-theoretic calculi based on logic without contraction rules," (Russian).

Thus, when the contraction rules permit the same word in more than one way, preference is given to "the contraction that more nearly approximates correct pronunciation."

The contraction rules (inference rules) of the Lambek calculus can be mapped to the connecting of connectors in Link Grammar.

Pattern-makers are able to produce suitable patterns using "Contraction rules" (these are sometimes called "shrink allowance rulers" where the ruled markings are deliberately made to a larger spacing according to the percentage of extra length needed).

The contraction rules take into account the linguistic structure of the word; thus, contractions are generally not to be used when their use would alter the usual braille form of a base word to which a prefix or suffix has been added.

A pattern made to match an existing part would be made as follows: First, the existing part would be measured using a standard ruler, then when constructing the pattern, the pattern maker would use a contraction rule, ensuring that the casting would contract to the correct size.
