On the History of Models in American Linguistics

2020
In this chapter, I investigate how the term ‘model’ appeared in American linguistics in the 1940–50s, essentially in the works of Z.S. Harris, C.F. Hockett and N. Chomsky, and how it took a mathematical turn gradually contributing to the mathematization of linguistics and the development of generative grammars. Several steps are examined: early uses of

Towards an analysis of linguistic modelling

Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 1978
An application of the linguistic modelling approach to a social-psychological theory about power is presented. In the linguistic simulation model some problems arose amongst which was a fuzzification tendency. Some methods to overcome this problem are discussed. Moreover, a first step is made towards the development of an analytical theory of this type

Linguistic Model for the Controlled Object

2005
A fuzzy model representation for describing the linguistic model of the object to be controlled in a control system is prompted. With the linguistic model of controlled object or process to be controlled, we can construct a close loop system representation.

Modeling of Linguistic Reference Schemes

International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design, 2015
When using natural language, people typically refer to individual things by using proper names or definite descriptions. Data modeling languages differ considerably in their support for such linguistic reference schemes. Understanding these differences is important for modeling reference schemes within such languages and for transforming models from ...

VALIDATION OF FUZZY-LINGUISTIC MODELS

Journal of Cybernetics, 1978
Abstract This article introduces a procedure for validating models that involve linguistic variables. First we discuss Zadeh's extension principle for fuzzy sets. Then we discuss the concept of a linguistic truth variable. Using the concepts developed in these sections we present a methodology for validation models involving fuzzy and linguistic ...

Applied Linguistics, Linguistics Research and the Empirical Model

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1979
Applied linguistics is very much a problem-oriented discipline and therefore necessarily an integrative discipline. I know that it is difficult to define what a ‘problem’ is; there are nevertheless important differences between problem-oriented disciplines and theory-based disciplines, like psychology and linguistics, to take a couple of relevant ...

Modelling Linguistic Events

2000
In this paper we investigate the logical representation of linguistic categories of tense and aspect with an emphasis on ease of computation. We show how temporal readings of simple sentences involving tense, the progressive and the perfect may be expressed concisely using a fragment of Halpern and Shoham’s interval logic HS, and describe how to obtain

Models in Linguistics and Models in General

1966
Publisher Summary The term “model” is relatively new in linguistics and it is modeled after models in mathematics, but the use of what may reasonably be regarded as models is as old as the study of language. While linguists have consciously borrowed the concept of models from mathematics, they have not been uninfluenced by the use of models in the ...

Explanatory Models in Linguistics

1966
Publisher Summary A traditional grammar has serious limitations so far as linguistic science is concerned. Its basic inadequacy lies in an essential appeal to what can be only called as the “linguistic intuition” of the intelligent reader. It is important to realize that a taxonomic grammar of the traditional kind is not merely a partial grammar that
