非连续性的复合量化句逻辑语法处理方式

Linguistic logic in discontinuously compound quantified sentences

从纯句法角度看,自然语言表达式表现为由小到大生成的连续符号串。大多数情况下,这些符号串的语义追随句法进行毗连组合。但在不少场合下,这种句法和语义的对应出现错位,句法的生成和语义的组合对应不起来,即句法上分离的符号串在语义上是不可分离的整体。这就是自然语言中的非连续结构,而复合量化句呈现出独特的非连续性特点。本文先后介绍范畴语法和蒙太格语法对非连续结构的处理方式,对此做出一些扩展,最后评价两种方法的优劣和需要探索的问题。

From a purely syntactic perspective,natural language expressions are characterized by continuous symbolic strings generated from small parts to large ones.Mostly,by following their syn-tax,the semantic meanings of these symbolic strings are also concatenate.But in many cases,the correspondences between their syntax and semantics are dislocated,which means that their syntactic generation and semantic composition cannot match with each other;for instances,syntactically sepa-rated symbolic strings are inseparable as a whole semantically.This is the discontinuous structure of natural language.Compound quantified sentences present the unique characteristics of discontinuity. This paper briefs the approaches to the discontinuous structure in the framework of categorical gram-mar and Montague grammar and somewhat improves their methods.Finally,the paper evaluates the merits and weaknesses of the two methods and proposes the future research questions.
