The Legacy of Zellig Harris - Bruce E. Nevin
Language and information into the 21st century. 2 Volumes
KORTE INHOUD
Zellig Harris opened many lines of research in language, information, and culture. In these two volumes an international array of scholars describe Harrisâe(tm)s work, further developments, and relate this work to that of others. Volume 1 focuses on the importance of Harrisâe(tm)s work in the philosophy of science and in theoretical linguistics. It begins with a survey article by Harris himself, which was hitherto unavailable in English. Volume 2 explores Harrisâe(tm)s profound influence in formal systems and applied mathematics, in demonstrations of the computability of language, and in informatics. This volume begins with a commentary by André Lentin on Harrisâe(tm)s grounding in constructivist, intuitionist mathematics, drawing a parellel between his central insights and those of Gödel and others which were of like import in the foundations of mathematics.
