    0:47 grammar seems to connect syntax to semantics, for example, adding 's' to plurals and verb conjugation is based on semantic rules.

      So what does it mean? Examples like that are few and far between; I speak another Language too and very rarely do any Words in English have any meaning in my lnative Language and I can think of a couple of Words but a short sentence is hard to think of

    "Car on part": great example that points to another aspect: sometimes just the written form isn't enough, especially when pronunciation can be widely different.
    The example however feels a bit forced, since "Car on part" is fully correct but not current. I'd love a visualisation of how car, on and part have evolved in each language from their origin to todays meaning. Car from Carriage etc...

    • @CarneadesOfCyrene

      +James Hobson No, it focuses more on formal languages and the way that they can be defined. ruclips.net/video/ptyksCGBBn4/видео.html

    This is really helpful! However, I am a bit confused about "Car on part." part, what is it really mean in French?

    • @lgroschiensalle
      @lgroschiensalle 2 года назад +1

      In French, “part” means “to leave”.
      “Car on part” means “For we are leaving” or “Because we are leaving” or “for this reason, we are leaving”.
      Part is 3rd person singular indicative present conjugation of verb “partir”. (English “to leave”)

    Syntax = structure (objective - 1st Order); Semantics = meaning (subjective - 2nd Order)?

    • @CarneadesOfCyrene
      @CarneadesOfCyrene  8 лет назад +3

      +Jimbo Jones Basically, yes. Though objectivity and subjectivity may not map on perfectly, but that's the idea.

      Car on part..Bad example. It's an HOMONYM.
      HOMONYMS are words that sound alike but have different meanings. Homophones are a type of homonym that also sound alike and have different meanings, but have different spellings. HOMOGRAPHS are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings.

      @@lesterduludis8892 I think what he meant is that, because English is an SVO language it doesn't mean that French should be SVO too- for example, Japan's language is SOV.

    • @henriquemendes7938
      @henriquemendes7938 3 года назад

      I think semantics need not be subjective. Consider a language such as chess notation, for example, in which you have the expression "Be5", where "B" means "bishop" and "e5" stands for the fifth row of the fifth column on a chessboard. The meaning of the expression is not subjective at all. Of course things are not so when we are dealing with the complexity of natural languages, such as English or French.

    is the power of formal languages that their syntax only maps to 1 object in the semantics space? i.e. things only have one single unambiguous meaning?

    so, is 1 of the holy grail of AI technology discern the semantics behind bad syntax?

    • @CarneadesOfCyrene
      @CarneadesOfCyrene  2 года назад +1

      I think a more specific example of what you are saying is the trophy suitcase example. I.e. in the sentence: "The trophy would not fit in the brown suitcase because it was too big." the question is what does the "it" refer to, i.e. what was too big? Particularly a generic solution to this. But also generally bad syntax is a challenge for AI.

    • @CarneadesOfCyrene
      @CarneadesOfCyrene  7 лет назад

      I would depend on your syntax rules. I would probably guess it is a syntax error, that the rules of math do not let us write it. But depending on what rules you use, it might be allowed, just not have any meaning or semantics.

    really? int x = "Reptile" would be a semantics error and not a syntax error? Can that error only be determined at run time? i.e. can we not guarantee to always catch such a bug statically?
