John Lyons on Sequences - Dictionary of Arguments
I 78 Def sequential/Linguistics/Lyons: means a fixed order of words. This is not syntagmatic! Syntagmatically compatible words can be in variable order, e.g. Latin. General: Logical form: Differentiation between syntagmatic/sequential (or non-sequential): Suppose there are two groups of units, X and Y, X = {a, b}, Y = {p, q} Italic/spelling : a realizes a, etc. X, Y: are variable quantities that stand for the realization of the units, Suppose these substantial units cannot occur simultaneously (they can be consonants or vowels), but are arranged sequentially among themselves. Then there are three relevant options (I): linear order fixed: Example X must occur before Y. I.e. ab, aq, bp, bq are possible, but not pa, qa, pb and qb. (II): "free": "free" in so far as XY and YX can occur, but XY = YX! ((s), i.e. the sequence is irrelevant. This is different than when it makes a difference, but both forms are allowed). (i.e. non-sequential, but syntagmatic). (III): fixed or free in another sense: it does not matter, because XY is not equal to YX. I 80 (= sequential-syntagmatic)._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
