摘要:

梵语语法传统始于帕尼尼的Astadhyayi,主要是作为Padasastra,在Bhartrhari手中最终成为Vakyasastra。自阿肖克·阿库卢杰卡尔(Ashok Aklujkar)提交博士学位以来,至少50多年来,语法哲学家巴特哈里(Bhartrhari)及其权威著作《Vakyapadiya》一直是现代学者的研究对象。哈佛大学的毕业论文句子和单词作为语言中有意义的语言单位的概念在后来的许多著作中一直是讨论的主题。虽然一些学者应用语言学的技术来批判地建立巴特哈里作品的文本,但也有一些学者致力于从这些作品中探索哲学见解。也有人从现代语言学和心理学的角度来研究他的作品。很少有人试图通过逻辑讨论来证明这些观点。本文从一个新的视角来研究巴特尔哈里及其作品,特别是《瓦克亚帕迪亚》。这种观点来自自然语言处理(NLP)领域,更具体地说,是所谓的认知NLP。我们已经研究了一个句子的定义所给予的Bhartrhari在开始的第二章'Vakyapadiya'。我们通过实验和默读梵语段落的方法研究了其中一个定义。我们收集了参与者的凝视行为数据,并对其进行分析,以了解人类思维中的潜在理解过程,并提出我们的结果。我们使用T检验评估我们的结果的统计显著性,并讨论我们的工作的注意事项。我们还提出了一些一般性的意见,这个实验和有用的方法,以获得更多的见解,在工作中的Bhartrhari。

英文摘要:

The Sanskrit grammatical tradition which has commenced with Panini's Astadhyayi mostly as a Padasastra has culminated as a Vakyasastra, at the hands of Bhartrhari. The grammarian-philosopher Bhartrhari and his authoritative work 'Vakyapadiya' have been a matter of study for modern scholars, at least for more than 50 years, since Ashok Aklujkar submitted his Ph.D. dissertation at Harvard University. The notions of a sentence and a word as a meaningful linguistic unit in the language have been a subject matter for the discussion in many works that followed later on. While some scholars have applied philological techniques to critically establish the text of the works of Bhartrhari, some others have devoted themselves to exploring philosophical insights from them. Some others have studied his works from the point of view of modern linguistics, and psychology. Few others have tried to justify the views by logical discussions. In this paper, we present a fresh view to study Bhartrhari, and his works, especially the 'Vakyapadiya'. This view is from the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), more specifically, what is called as Cognitive NLP. We have studied the definitions of a sentence given by Bhartrhari at the beginning of the second chapter of 'Vakyapadiya'. We have researched one of these definitions by conducting an experiment and following the methodology of silent-reading of Sanskrit paragraphs. We collect the Gaze-behavior data of participants and analyze it to understand the underlying comprehension procedure in the human mind and present our results. We evaluate the statistical significance of our results using T-test, and discuss the caveats of our work. We also present some general remarks on this experiment and usefulness of this method for gaining more insights in the work of Bhartrhari.
