项目摘要

This research has elucidated some tendencies concerning the morpheme arrangement rules each morphological type o fl language shows and the preference of each type for the rules providing the minimal number of possible events each stage of the morpheme strings the process of understanding by the hearer has provisionally reached, that is the rules to provide the maximal efficiency in understanding the meaning of the sentences the hearers are toying to understand. Thus the problem the sernantico-syntactic studies should solve in the coming stage of their theoretical research is to examine how plausible or relevant is the principle of maximal efficiency the result of this academic project proclaims. And a further theoretical verification is needed of the plausibility of this hypothetical principle from the viewpoint of the universal property ofhuman language functioning as the conveyer of events from speakers to hearers.The principle of efficiency in the understanding process of sentences has in fact something to do with the principle of "economy" that A. Matinet, the famous propagator of linguistic structuralism, put forwaid nearly half acentauy ago. However, while Martinet's principle of economy concerns itself mainly with the phonological and the morphological aspect of language, our princiole of efficiency focuses upon the syntactic aspect of language making use of the typological data of various languages in the world and paying appropriate attention on the communicative process of human language. On top of this, our research has succeeded in determining the efficiency of understanding on a proper mathematical basis, thus introducing a method of quantitative semantic analysis into linguistics. As a logical result of this attitude of study, our research enables linguists to expect to pursue their investigation of the universal aspect of language on a firmly theoretical and rational background.

这项研究阐明了一些有关语言排列规则的倾向，每种形态类型的语言表现出来，每种类型的偏好对规则的偏好提供了可能最少的事件数量的词素弦乐的每个阶段，听众的理解过程已暂时达到，这就是规则，这是为了理解听众的最大效率，以提供最大程度地理解听众的含义。因此，Sernantico-Sytractic研究应在其理论研究的即将阶段解决的问题是研究该学术项目宣称的最大效率原则是最大效率的原则。从人类语言的普遍财产的角度来看，需要进一步的理论验证该假设原理的合理性，该概念是从说话者到听众的事件传达者。实际上，句子理解过程中的效率原则实际上与“经济原则”有关，这与“ Matinet”（A. Matinet），著名的语言结构的著名传播者，几乎是Acent act act act act act act act act act act for a ac act act act act act act。但是，尽管马丁内特的经济原则主要涉及语言的语音和形态方面，但我们的效率公主着重于语言的语言方面，利用世界上各种语言的类型学数据的语言方面，并向人类语言的交流过程中提供适当的关注。最重要的是，我们的研究成功地确定了在适当的数学基础上确定理解的效率，从而将定量语义分析的方法引入语言学中。作为这种研究态度的逻辑结果，我们的研究使语言学家期望在坚定的理论和理性背景下对语言的普遍方面进行调查。
