Abstract

Striking similarities have been pointed out between the structures of the human language and the genetic code. The primary genetic code utilizes the principle of linear representation much like e.g. the Indo-European languages do. There are numerous indications that more complex secondary and tertiary structural elements in DNA direct highly specific interactions with proteins. Thus, more complex genetic codes might exist which might be superimposed on DNA sequences coding for polypeptides or might be extended to "non-coding" DNA sequences. Structural features of highly complex languages, like Chinese or Egyptian hieroglyphics using conceptual expression patterns have been compared to the more complex ways of encoding. It is proposed that the application of linguistic principles may be helpful in the computer analyses of known DNA sequences. There is considerable evidence for the innate specification at least for the basic structural elements of human languages. This innate specification may be the cause for language university. Based on the striking structural similarities between language and genetic code, the question is raised to what extent and in what way DNA sequences might be related to the innate specification of human languages.

摘要

人类语言的结构与遗传密码之间已被指出存在惊人的相似之处。主要的遗传密码利用线性表示原理,这与例如印欧语系的语言很相似。有大量迹象表明,DNA中更复杂的二级和三级结构元件指导着与蛋白质的高度特异性相互作用。因此,可能存在更复杂的遗传密码,它们可能叠加在编码多肽的DNA序列上,或者可能扩展到“非编码”DNA序列。像中文或使用概念表达模式的埃及象形文字这样高度复杂语言的结构特征,已被与更复杂的编码方式进行比较。有人提出,语言原则的应用可能有助于对已知DNA序列进行计算机分析。有相当多的证据表明,至少对于人类语言的基本结构要素存在先天的规定。这种先天规定可能是语言普遍性的原因。基于语言和遗传密码之间惊人的结构相似性,人们提出了这样一个问题:DNA序列在多大程度上以及以何种方式可能与人类语言的先天规定相关。
