Operator grammar

Operator grammar is a mathematical theory of human language that explains how language carries information. This theory is the culmination of the life work of Zellig Harris, with major toward the end of the last century. Operator grammar proposes that each human language is a self-organizing system in which both the syntactic and semantic properties of a word are established purely in relation to other words. Thus, no external system (metalanguage) is required to define the rules of a language. Instead, these rules are learned through exposure to usage and through participation, as is the case with most social behavior. The theory is consistent with the idea that language evolved gradually, with each successive generation introducing new complexity and variation. Operator grammar posits three universal constraints: (certain words depend on the presence of other words to form an utterance), (some combinations of words and their dependents are more likely than others) and (words in high likelihood combinations can be reduced to shorter forms, and sometimes omitted completely). Together these provide a theory of : dependency builds a predicate–argument structure; likelihood creates distinct meanings; reduction allows compact forms for communication. (Wikipedia).

Functions, operators, and linearity: the language of abstract math (#SoME1)

Mathematicians and physicists often use abstract notation and terminology to reason about and describe problems at a level above the explicit details of the problem, but often take for granted that everyone already understands what they're doing and why. This video gives a short explanati

How do we make sense of a regular sentence, especially when they take us down the "garden path"? For example, when we see a sentence that starts with "The old man," most of us would expect the next word to be a verb. So when we read, "The old man the boat," we have to backtrack to re-evalu
