论小句生成中的分形核化走向

Fractal Nucleation Orientation in Clause Generation

本文在量子化生成机制的假设前提下阐述小句意义生成的结构化模型。这正是一个相对完整事件的生成过程,是对语境场和语义场中初始状态各种潜在可能性的激发和坍缩,同时开启相应的语义时空过程,即从主旨起点瞬间膨胀、并迅速向命题或提议收缩的具体化表现,从而生成原子模型,中间是核心事件(实义动词)核心,外围是类电子成分;这些构成成分本身也有类似的核化结构,与小句的构成具有分形特点。这一视角可以构拟大量新的语言事实,有利于我们对自然语言的进一步理解。

This paper argues for a formulation pattern of clausal meaning generation under the hypothesis of quantized generation of clausal meaning.That is the generation of a comparatively complete event,one that collapses its initial state of superposition with all possibilities in semantic and contextual fields,and along the process of excitation,opens up a course with due time and space of that event making,a sudden expansion from a motif point to a specific scope of proposition or proposal,which results in an atomic model that has a verbal nucleus surrounded by electron-like constituents,and each constituent may have a similar form.For that purpose,the discussion first proposes a two-way double-layered working mechanism for sentence generation:the top-down meaning production process and the bottom-up grammaticalization.The former begins with motif exciting to discretize into indivi-dual semantic categories,which witnesses three semiotic spaces:(1)the potential semiotic space of the motif,one that is in a state of superposition;(2)the tempora-spatial coordinate generation along which the brain and mind produces the event at stake;and(3)the tempora-spatial coordinates of the event content.Of the three,the last comes from the first via the second,but is out of interest here.On that basis,the paper illustrates three layers of collapses.The first is that the nominal,adjectival,verbal and adverbial groups and prepositional phrases function as collapsing operator;the second is collapses within those units;and the third is ones within each in turn.Meanwhile,the latter,bottom-up way excites proper components from due contextual and semantic fields to match the motif and semantic categories to compose and organize into clauses and the text,along which different states of semantic and grammatical functions arise.Then the paper proceeds with specific accounts of the nucleation patterns of meaning generation at the ranks of the clause and the group and phrase.This fractal approach is able to construct new linguistic facts and avail further understanding of natural language.
