Syntagmatics is treated as an aspect of language research, which involves the study of the rules of compatibility of the language units and their realization in speech. The focus is made on two linguistic phenomena: (1) valence, which is manifested at the language level and represents a potential combinability of language units, (2) compatibility, which is manifested at the level of speech and represents the realization of valency. Combinatorics is treated as making combinations of words that are subordinate to specific communicative tasks under the conditions of their implementation. The author argues that in the framework of combinatorial linguistics the syntagmatics includes forming language units in a linear sequence according to the ru- les of combinatorics. The limitations are commented: (1) in solving of communicative tasks (givenness of sense) (2) in terms of the implementation of this task, (3) in selecting a specific set of language units that express a given meaning. The author comes to the con-clusion that syntagmatics and combinatorics equally determine the combinability of lan- guage units and are relative to each other in equipollently opposition.","PeriodicalId":194932,"journal":{"name":"The Art of Proving Binomial Identities","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131382054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, for example, [i = j] = 1 if i = j and [i = j] = 0 if i = j: [i = j] = δ ij , the Kronecker delta. Binomial Coefficients Here is the general definition of the binomial coefficient r k : r k := r k k! for real r and integer k ≥ 0; it is defined to be zero for real r and integer k < 0. For integer k ≥ 0, r k = [x k ](1 + x) r := coefficient of x k in the expansion of (1 + x) r. For integers k and n with 0 ≤ k ≤ n, n k , read \" n choose k, \" counts the number of ways to select a subset of k objects from a set of n objects. Stirling Numbers of the Second Kind For integers k and n ≥ 0, n k = coefficient of x k in x n written as a factorial polynomial. Thus, n k = 0 for integer k < 0 as well as for integer k > n, and for integer n ≥ 0, x n = n k=0 n k x k = k∈Z n k x k. Stirling numbers of the second kind satisfy the recurrence relation n k = k n − 1 k + n − 1 k − 1 for integer n > 0 and integer k with boundary conditions n 0 = [n = 0] and n n = 1. The number n k , read \" n subset k, \" counts the number of partitions of a set of n elements into k nonempty subsets. Other notations are used for Stirling numbers of the second kind. The classic handbook AMS 55 [1] uses a notation like S (k) n but with a fancy calligraphic \" S. \" Spiegel [3, p. 7] uses the notation S n k , while Combinatorics [4, p. 37] uses the notation S(n, k).","PeriodicalId":194932,"journal":{"name":"The Art of Proving Binomial Identities","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117185411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
