这毫无科学依据
1. 怎么证明汉语比英语信息量大
先生说,"这毫无科学依据
1. 怎么证明汉语比英语信息量大
2. 怎么证明信息量大的一定取代信息量小的
第一条你可能只是感觉,感觉不是科学论证。第二条可能连感觉都说不上。
我倒是可以给出两个反例,文言文信息量比现在汉语大,但已经消亡。
英语是全世界很多国家官方语言,但用汉语的除了中国寥寥可数。"
本帖就是讨论语言的科学性,别人当然不知道。
证明一种语言的科学性是根据该语言中,声音种类的数量来决定的。我手边上刚好找到英语的,凑合着看吧,中文的前面能够找到:Suppose there is a spoken language, it just have two sounds (phones not syllables) A and B, we know, it can express this world as well as other language. Yet, its expressing speed is too slow. For instance Tom uses this AB language, Jack uses a natural language with 400 sounds, supposing there are only 400 things that required to be named, then sometimes, Tom has to use 9 sounds (as ABBABBAAB) to express one thing, while Jack use 1 sound to express the same thing.
Since each sounds cost the same time, then the difference is during the whole life, Tom can only enjoy 1/9 of Jack enjoyed information (including speaking and hearing). Or we may say that the AB language user has to have nine lives to get the information that a natural language user got in one life.
Yet in the world, the quantity of sounds in every language is different. So just counting the number of sounds in each language, we will found the different efficiency values of them. In other word, languages in the world is not equal.
Since the thinking speed is a sort of ‘speaking in mind’, so the speed of speaking tells us the speed of thinking, we may roughly calculate the thinking speed in this way.
This idea tells us that the development of any language is in fact finding more distinguishable sounds. Since all language towards this target, we may united them into one language by good guide, in future.
此外,我们要证明的不是语言信息量的大小,而是该语言使用者一生中所能享受到的信息。
文言文的信息量并不比现代汉语的信息量大,更重要的是,它的表达非常模糊,很多定义不清楚。
