The word 'BASIC' in computing terms means what?
Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution (1969) () is a book by Brent Berlin and Paul Kay. Berlin and Kay's work proposed that the basic color terms in a culture, such as black, brown, or red, are predictable by the number of color terms the culture has. All cultures have terms for black/dark and white/bright. If a culture has three color terms, the third is red. If a culture has four, it has yellow or green. Berlin and Kay posit seven levels in which cultures fall, with Stage I languages having only
Native (computing) Native (computing) In computing, software or data formats that are native to a system are those that the system supports with minimal computational overhead and additional components. This word is used in such terms as native mode and native code. Something running on a computer natively means that it is running without any external layer requiring fewer software layers. For example, in Microsoft Windows the Native API is an application programming interface specific for Windows NT kernel, which can be used to give access to some kernel functions, which cannot be directly accessed through a more universal Windows API.
