Towards Matrix Syntax

Matrix syntax is a model of syntactic relations in language, which grew out of a desire to understand chains. The purpose of this paper is to explain its basic ideas to a linguistics audience, without entering into too many formal details (for which cf. Orús et al. 2017). The resulting mathematical...

The purpose of this paper is to explain its basic ideas to a linguistics audience, without entering into too many formal details (for which cf. Orús et al. 2017). The resulting mathematical structure resembles some aspects of quantum mechanics and is well-suited to describe linguistic chains. In particular, sentences are naturally modeled as vectors in a Hilbert space with a tensor product structure, built from 2x2 matrices belonging to some specific group. Curiously, the matrices the system employs are simple extensions of customary representations of the major parts of speech, as [±N, ±V] objects.La sintaxi de matrius és un model formal de relacions sintàctiques en el llenguatge que va sorgir del desig de modelar les cadenes. L'objectiu d'aquest treball és explicar les idees bàsiques d'aquest model a un públic lingüístic, sense entrar en gaires detalls formals (vegeu Orús et al. 2017). L'estructura matemàtica resultant s'assembla a alguns aspectes de la mecànica quàntica i s'adapta bé per descriure les cadenes lingüístiques. En particular, les oracions es modelen naturalment com a vectors en un espai de Hilbert amb una estructura de producte tensorial, construïdes a partir de matrius 2 x 2 que pertanyen a un grup específic. Curiosament, les matrius que utilitza el sistema són extensions simples de representacions habituals de les parts principals del discurs com a objectes [± N, ± V]. 22019-01-0120192019-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/216373https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.5565/rev/catjl.221reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.

In particular, sentences are naturally modeled as vectors in a Hilbert space with a tensor product structure, built from 2x2 matrices belonging to some specific group.
