Καλημέρα. Όχι, δεν σκοπεύω να σχολιάσω τα σχέδια του ΓΑΠ για μια κυβέρνηση της οικολογίας (που κοιμούνται του καλού καιρού) ούτε τα σχέδια του ΠΑΣΟΚ για μια αμιγώς πράσινη κυβέρνηση χωρίς μπλε και μαύρους κόκκους (που δεν μπορούν να πάνε να κοιμηθούν ήσυχα κι ωραία, να μας αφήσουν κι εμάς ήσυχους). Προτείνω απλώς δύο νέες ερμηνείες της γνωστής πρότασης του Τσόμσκι Colorless green ideas sleep furiously, η οποία νόημα δεν έχει και νόημα βρίσκει συνέχεια. Παραθέτω από Wikipedia και δείτε ελληνικές αποδόσεις που κυκλοφορούν.
"Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" is a sentence composed by Noam Chomsky in his 1957 Syntactic Structures as an example of a sentence that is grammatically correct (logical form) but semantically nonsensical. The term was originally used in his 1955 thesis "Logical Structures of Linguistic Theory". Although the sentence is grammatically correct, no understandable meaning can be derived from it, and thus it demonstrates the distinction between syntax and semantics. As an example of a category mistake, it was used to show inadequacy of the then-popular probabilistic models of grammar, and the need for more structured models.
[...]
Writers have attempted to provide the sentence meaning through context, the first of which was written by Chinese linguist Yuen Ren Chao. A literary competition was held at Stanford University in 1985, in which the contestants were invited to make Chomsky's sentence meaningful using not more than 100 words of prose or 14 lines of verse. An example entry from the competition, from C.M. Street, is:
It can only be the thought of verdure to come, which prompts us in the autumn to buy these dormant white lumps of vegetable matter covered by a brown papery skin, and lovingly to plant them and care for them. It is a marvel to me that under this cover they are labouring unseen at such a rate within to give us the sudden awesome beauty of spring flowering bulbs. While winter reigns the earth reposes but these colourless green ideas sleep furiously.
