Logic of Relatives as Syntax in the genetic code
Original language description
Analogies between natural language and the genetic code dates to the sixties of the last century. Nevertheless, these analogies never go beyond the terminology. Nowadays, the reasons that led to linguistic denominations of the genetic discoveries are mostly forgotten. In my contribution, I would like to present the idea that it is possible, in some way, to talk about syntactic relations in the genetic code. Firstly, I will investigate the function of syntax in natural language. Afterwards, I will demonstrate that similar functions are performed also in the genetic code. By these functions, I mean the expression of relations between constituents. The so called non-coding DNA has been discovered quite recently. I propose comparing the non-coding sequences of DNA to the syntax in natural languages. As a standpoint, I will take the Peircean logic of relations. In fact, the well-known theory of valency syntax by Lusien Tesniére seems to be similar with the Peirce´s theory of logic of relations. As Percian´s interests went far beyond linguistics, I would like to go in the same direction and to extend the logic of valency (understood as a variety of syntax) to the grammars of the genetic code.
