Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automating Linguistics offers an in-depth study of the history of the mathematisation and automation of the sciences of language. In the wake of the first mathematisation of the 1930s, two waves followed: machine translation in the 1950s and the development of computational linguistics and natural language processing in the 1960s. These waves were pivotal given the work of large computerised corpora in the 1990s and the unprecedented technological development of computers and software.Early machine translation was devised as a war technology originating in the sciences of war, amidst the amalgamate of mathematics, physics, logics, neurosciences, acoustics, and emerging sciences such as cybernetics and information theory. Machine translation was intended to provide mass translations for strategic purposes during the Cold War. Linguistics, in turn, did not belong to the sciences of war, and played a minor role in the pioneering projects of machine translation.Comparing the two trends, the present book reveals how the sciences of language gradually integrated the technologies of computing and software, resulting in the second-wave mathematisation of the study of language, which may be called mathematisation-automation. The integration took on various shapes contingent upon cultural and linguistic traditions (USA, ex-USSR, Great Britain and France). By contrast, working with large corpora in the 1990s, though enabled by unprecedented development of computing and software, was primarily a continuation of traditional approaches in the sciences of language sciences, such as the study of spoken and written texts, lexicography, and statistical studies of vocabulary.

Download or read book The Philosophy and Science of Language written by Ryan M. Nefdt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a diverse range of scholars to address important philosophical and interdisciplinary questions in the study of language. Linguistics throughout history has been a conduit to the study of the mind, brain, societal structure, literature and history itself. The epistemic and methodological transfer between the sciences and humanities in regards to linguistics has often been documented, but the underlying philosophical issues have not always been adequately addressed. With 15 original and interdisciplinary chapters, this volume therefore tackles vital questions relating to the philosophy, history, and theoretical interplay between the study of language and fields as varied as logic, physics, biology, classical philology and neuroscience. With a four part structure, questions of the mathematical foundations of linguistics, links to the natural sciences, cognitive implications and historical connections, take centre stage throughout the volume. The final chapters present research related to the linguistic connections between history, philosophy and the humanities more broadly. Advancing new avenues of research, this volume is exemplary in its treatment of diachronic and cross-disciplinary interaction, and will be of interest to all scholars interested in the study of language.

Book excerpt: Discourse is not just a means of expressing thought; it is also an autonomous body, an act through which we aim to achieve a certain effect. Modern linguistics proposes a broader definition of discourse, as a discrete and unique enunciative process, where the speaker or author makes language concrete through speech (in the Saussurian sense), and describes the various acts (oral, illocutionary, perlocutionary) that discourse performs. This book examines discourse, an object of analysis and criticism, from a wide range of perspectives. Among the concepts explored are the contributions of rhetoric in the art of discourse, the evolution of multiple approaches and the main methods of discourse analysis conducted by a variety of researchers. The book deepens our knowledge and understanding of discourse, a concept on which any research related to information and communication can be based.
Download or read book Histoire de l automatisation des sciences du langage written by Jacqueline Léon and published by Ecole Normale Supérieure. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage, consacré à l'histoire de l'automatisation mathématisation des sciences du langage, se situe en histoire et épistémologie des sciences du langage. Il s'inscrit dans l’histoire du récent. Deux moments sont distingués : la traduction automatique dans les années 1950, et les études sur corpus informatisés dans les années 1990 avec le développement inédit des ordinateurs. La traduction automatique, issue des sciences de la guerre, a été conçue comme technologie de guerre froide aux États-Unis pour fournir des traductions en série des travaux soviétiques. Elle a été conçue en dehors de la linguistique. L’ouvrage s’attache à montrer, selon une approche comparative, comment les sciences du langage ont intégré cette technologie pour amorcer leur automatisation. Cette intégration revêt diverses formes selon les traditions culturelles et linguistiques des pays impliqués (États-Unis, ex-URSS, Grande-Bretagne et France). Les études sur corpus au contraire se situent dans la continuité de thématiques familières aux sciences du langage, notamment l’étude des textes, écrits et oraux, et du lexique.

In the concluding contribution, a survey of advances in the history of the language sciences is offered.
