Set theory as a meta‐language for natural languages
Hsin‐I Hsieh · Paper in Linguistics · 1980
The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to show how set theory can be used as a crude but homogeneous meta‐language to describe sound‐meaning relationship in natural language, and (2) to argue in favor of applying artificial languages to study natural language until an ideal homogeneous meta‐language becomes available.
