用统一框架同时处理语言中的连续与不连续结构。
Towards a Unified System of Representation for Continuity and Discontinuity in Natural Language
- 融合三种语法形式，构建统一表示体系。
- 通过数学推导整合成分、依存和范畴关系。
- 适用于研究跨语言语法现象的语言学家。
句法不连续是指一个短语因插入非其组成部分的成分而被分割的现象，在土耳其语、俄语、日语、沃爾皮里语、纳瓦霍语、霍皮语、迪尔巴尔语、伊迪尼语等多种语言中均有发现。当前语言学理论中的不同形式系统对不连续结构的处理方式各异，普遍被视为相互独立且无法融合的分析体系。本文提出一种统一的自然语言结构表示系统，兼顾连续与不连续现象，综合考虑短语结构语法（PSG）的成分性、依存语法（DG）的中心-依附关系，以及范畴语法（CG）的函数-参数关系。我们尝试证明，不连续表达式与连续结构均可通过整合这三种语法形式的表征，经由统一的数学推导进行分析。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Syntactic discontinuity is a grammatical phenomenon in which a constituent is split into more than one part because of the insertion of an element which is not part of the constituent. This is observed in many languages across the world such as Turkish, Russian, Japanese, Warlpiri, Navajo, Hopi, Dyirbal, Yidiny etc. Different formalisms/frameworks in current linguistic theory approach the problem of discontinuous structures in different ways. Each framework/formalism has widely been viewed as an independent and non-converging system of analysis. In this paper, we propose a unified system of representation for both continuity and discontinuity in structures of natural languages by taking into account three formalisms, in particular, Phrase Structure Grammar (PSG) for its widely used notion of constituency, Dependency Grammar (DG) for its head-dependent relations, and Categorial Grammar (CG) for its focus on functor-argument relations. We attempt to show that discontinuous expressions as well as continuous structures can be analysed through a unified mathematical derivation incorporating the representations of linguistic structure in these three grammar formalisms.
