Discussion club
Unresolved problems in the Study of Nature and Evolution
of Human Language
Actual problems in Lexicology
and Lexicography
Dear participants of the discussion club
and those who are going to take part in it,
Our goal is to consider some interesting and
still unresolved problems of general theory of Human Language.
Discussion may develop from one problem to
another, as well as, possibly, continue parallel discussion of several previously
raised questions (marked by different names in a line “subject”).
As an initial subject for the discussion I suggest
the following:
“Regularities of Human Language Evolution”.
Putting forward this problem, as it seems, will
give an opportunity to deal from the very beginning of the forum with the
most synthetic topics of modern linguistics which embrase a variety of other
more specific topics.
For the beginning of the discussion I have suggested
some works of mine on these problems.
There are some reflections on them which
someone can look at below.
Other contributions are welcome!
Cognitive
Model of Lexical System Evolution and its Verification
Menzerath’s
Law for Morphemic Structures of Words: A Hypothesis for the Evolutionary
Mechanism of its Arising and its Testing. An abstract of a paper submitted
for the 4th International Conference on Quantitative Linguistics. - Prague,
August 26-28 (Qualico-2000).
Cyclic
Processes in Becoming of Lexical System: Modeling and Experiment.
For the beginning of the discussion for the topic "Actual problems of
Lexicology and Lexicography", I suggest some new lexicographical projects
as follows:
