Re-Categorization of Antithesis Based on HNC Theory
Ying Li · Zhongwen xinxi xuebao · 2004
Based on the reflection of the studies of traditional semantics and classical philosophy, a brand new thought about antithesis was brought forth. The main points include: the law about the unity of opposites proposed by philosopher Hegel couldn't be directly applied in the processing of concepts and somehow re categorization of antithesis is necessary. HNC Theory founded by Prof. Huang Zeng yang proposes that antithesis be classified into two types, that is, Hegel Antithesis and Non Hegel Antithesis. The former includes four sub types and the latter twelve. The respective symbols and their meaning assigned by HNC theory are illustrated in this paper and possible applications in Chinese information processing are discussed.
