Development History
1847, Russia Mathematics в.я. Buriakovski believes that can be studied in grammar, phrase origin and language history. In 1894, the Swiss Linguist FDE Supor believed that the relationship between the quantity and the amount in the language can be used in the language formula. He also compared to the geometry system and only complex algebra. In 1904, Poland Linguist JN Bobo Dund Kurt believes that linguists should master primary mathematics and higher mathematics, and linguistics will be more expanded in the amount of mathematics, and will develop new interpretations Method of thinking. In 1933, American linguists L. Bronfield more considered that mathematics is the highest realm they can achieve. Russians AA Markov (1856 ~ 1922) Even the probability theory of probability theory in 1913, studying the sequence of Russian vowels and consonant letters in the long poem "European Gold" of AC Pushkin, thus establishing Mathematical theory of Marcov random procedure.
Since the 1940s, due to the development of communication technology, the optimal coding method of the language is needed to improve the transmission capacity of the channel, so it is necessary to conduct precision research on the statistical characteristics of the language. The emergence of automatic processing technology of machine translation, intelligence retrieval, etc., and requires accurately describing and interpreting the structure of the language, establishing a language model, and uses mathematical methods to study the grammar and semantic structure of the language.
These requirements proposed in practice make the language to establish academic language a necessary, and the development of science and technology is also possible for the generation of numerical linguistics. For example, a rapid development of probability, mathematical statistics, informationism, collection, collections, mathematics logic, chart, graphical, fuzzy mathematics, and abstract algebra, etc. The "Analysis Syntactics" in the traditional linguus, the analysis of L. Broneld, ZS Harris, etc., a set of strict language research methods, in this Aspects also have a certain enlightenment. Some methods, especially the simulation method, can be used as a reference for establishing a language mathematical model; the research on program language structure and compiling technology in computer science can be used as a reference for natural language with mathematical ideas and methods; artificial intelligence The general rules of intelligent activities are discussed, and the research on proactive linguistics has also a general guiding role.
In 1955, the United States Harvard University first founded a proactive language discussion class, and officially opened a progenyllaby in 1957. Since then, Japan, the Soviet, Federal Germany, Romania, France, Hungary, Czechlovakia, the United Kingdom, Poland, Sweden, and Democratic Germany successively launched this teaching and research. China has gradually carried out the research of progenylism in the end of the 1950s, and has achieved certain results in the study of Chinese automatic analysis and generation, Chinese character information processing, speech statistics, etc. in mathematics methods. Some units have also opened a proactive language course.
Composed of
Merger linguistics mainly include 3 aspects: 1 algebra linguistics, 2 statistical language, 3 application proactive language. Algebra Linguistics is to study language, algorithm logic, algorithm theory, fuzzy mathematics, chart theory, grid, etc. to study language, statistical language is a method of using probability, mathematical statistics and informationism. To study the frequency and probability (statistical laws) of language components during communication, and apply algebra language and statistical language to machine translation, human-machine dialogue, and information on the skills and methods of intelligence retrieval, is the application of proactive language. Connotation.
Algebra Linguistics
The purpose of algebraic language is to establish an algebra model of language, an algebraic description and theoretical precise analysis of objective language reality, thus putting linguistics Some aspects transform the interpretation system as mathematics. The language model in algebralology mainly has three kinds of analytical models, generated models, and identification models. The analytical model mainly uses the method of collecting theory, and the basic concept of grammar is mathematically described, and the generating model focuses on research formal law. And automaton theory, clarify the relationship between formal formal law and its relationship with the automaton, and the identification model is studied. In addition, Mendesan syntax studied by combining syntactics and semantics. The research of these language models, breaks through the constraints of the induction method of the linguistic tradition, bringing a major impact of transformation to linguistics, and the language phenomenon is more suitable for computer processing after the model is drawn, and the automatic language is automatically Processing provides a means (see singular language).
Statistical Language
The purpose of statistical linguistics is to establish a statistical model of language. With statistical methods to study the phonemes and tone of the language, there is voice statistics; study relative language differentiation, there are language era; research articles style, style statistics. In recent years, people have begun to use a computer to conduct statistical research in natural language (see statistical language).
including machine translation, human-machine dialogue, information storage, information transmission, etc., the main research language automatic analysis and language automatic method, pay attention to the formalization of semantics. Mathematical linguistics enrich the means and methods of language research, and open up a new field for linguistics research.
