基于概率的语言研究发展简述

A Brief Introduction to Probability-Based Language Research Development

概率性是语言最本质的特性之一。以概率为基础的语言研究是与语言学理性主义相反的一种学术思潮,它运用基于统计数据的经验主义方法来挖掘语言学知识并形成一定的理论。概率语言学运用概率统计方法从真实自然语言文本中挖掘语言学知识,充分显示了对真实语言数据的尊重。概率语言学充分融合了语言学、统计学、计算机科学、认知心理学等相关学科知识,且适逢大数据科学、交叉学科快速发展的强力助推,势必显现出光明的发展前景,从而加快语言学科学化的建设。

Probability is one of the most essential characteristics of language. Investigating language on the basis of probability is an academic trend contrary to linguistic rationalism. It uses empirical methods based on statistical data to mine linguistic knowledge and form certain theories. Probabilistic linguistics fully shows respect for authentic linguistic data and also shows a redefinition of respect for the facts of the language. Probabilistic linguistics fully integrates linguistics, statistics, computer science, cognitive psychology, and other related subject knowledge, and it coincides with the powerful booster of the rapid development of contemporary big data science,and it is bound to show bright prospects for development, thus accelerating the arrival of spring in linguistics science.
