	Zellig Harris Information
		Harris was born in Balta, now Odessa oblast, Ukraine, and came with his family to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1913.
		It is widely believed that Harris carried Bloomfieldian ideas of linguistic description to their extreme development: the investigation of discovery procedures for phonemes and morphemes, based on the distributional properties of these units.
		Harris recognized, as Sapir and Bloomfield also had stated, that semantics is included in grammar, not separate from it, form and information being two faces of the same coin.

	Zellig Harris - Biography of Zellig Harris
		Harris carried Bloomfieldian ideas of linguistic description to their extreme development: the investigation of discovery procedures for phonemes and morphemes, based on the distributional properties of these units.
		Since Harris was Noam Chomsky's teacher, some linguists have questioned whether Chomsky's transformational grammar is as revolutionary as it has been usually considered, but the two scholars developed their concepts of transformation for different purposes.
		For Harris, a transformation relates two surface structure forms and is not a procedure to transform a deep structure into a surface structure, as it is in transformational grammar.

	LINGUIST List 3.445: A Tribute to Zellig Harris
		As we were setting out for the lecture hall, we encountered Harris, and I blurted out "I'm about to give a lecture on your theory to John's class." (John, with characteristic wry humor, asked if he wanted to take anything back.) Harris bemusedly questioned whether anyone would be interested in what he was doing.
		Harris was always an intensely loyal man to his friends and family.
		Harris recognized and accepted that there is no vantage point outside of language from which to describe language.

	Noam Chomsky
		Between 1945 and 1950 Chomsky was a student at the University of Pennsylvania and began his study of linguistics.
		During this time, he proofread Zellig Harris’s Methods in Structural Linguistics and developed a sympathy for Harris’s ideas on politics.
		As a student, Noam was heavily influenced by Zellig Harris, who was Professor of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania.

	Chapter 2: Zellig Harris, Avukah, and Hashomer Hatzir
		Harris was born in 1909 in Balta, Russia; he left there with his parents in 1913.
		Harris is known for his work in structural linguistics and is considered to be the father of discourse analysis.
		Harris encouraged the kind of unstructured, lively, and creative debate that had been a mainstay of Chomsky's early education and upon which he had thrived in the company of his uncle in New York.

	I am interested in the challenge of developing algorithms which accept essentially raw linguistic data as input, and ...
		Harris’ proposal in his 1955 and 1967 publications were not quite the same, but the later paper was explicitly developed to make it computationally feasible; the procedure of the earlier paper was designed in terms of what questions a linguist would ask an informant.
		Harris reasoned that positions whose right-branching count was larger than the right-branching count of either of its neighbors were bound to be morpheme boundaries.
		Zellig Harris' is the only algorithm to be found in the prior literature, that I am aware of, that begins with no prior knowledge or analysis provided by a linguist and which produces a reasonably small set of hypothetical suffixes.

	Zellig Harris at AllExperts
		Zellig Sabbetai Harris (October 23, 1909 - May 22, 1992) was an American linguist, mathematical syntactician, and methodologist of science.
		Since Harris was Noam Chomsky's teacher, some linguists have questioned whether Chomsky's transformational grammar is as revolutionary as it has been usually considered.
		In his work on sublanguage analysis, Harris showed how the sublanguage for a restricted domain can have a pre-existent external metalanguage, expressed in sentences in the language but outside of the sublanguage.

		In this, he had much in common with Sapir, who it is said regarded him as his intellectual heir; in particular in his sensitivity to the inadequacies of established social arrangements (inadequacies made especially obvious in the Great Depression) and in his interest in the possible shapes of alternatives.
		Harris does not decry the worth of capitalism, as far as it goes, nor deny the great benefits that it has brought.
		Yet some of the requirements for its practitioners and their social institutions to survive cannot be met without conflict with (short-term) profit--among them the education, health, and economic viability of the labor force, and indeed of the ecosystems in which enterprises are carried out.

	The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News
		In his work on sublanguage analysis, Harris showed how the sublanguage for a restricted domain can have a pre-existent external metalanguage, expressed in sentences in the language but outside of the sublanguage, something that is not available to language as a whole.
		It is perhaps of interest that the test and exemplification of this in The Form of Information in Science (1989) vindicates in some degree the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.
		In the latter work, also, Harris ventured to propose at last what might be the "truth of the matter" in the nature of language, what is required to learn it, its origin, and its possible future development.

		Zellig Harris had a profound influence in formal systems and applied mathematics, in demonstrations of the computability of language, and in informatics.
		Volume 2 begins with a commentary by André Lentin on Harris's grounding in constructivist, intuitionist mathematics, drawing a parallel between Harris's central insights and those of Gödel and others which were of like import in the foundations of mathematics.

	Chapter 2: Zellig Harris, Avukah, and Hashomer Hatzir
		Avukah is the second context for this exploration of the link between Harris's nature and beliefs and the kind of thinker Chomsky was to become.
		Avukah was around before Harris came onto the scene, but he had an important impact on the Pennsylvania chapter, and many other chapters in North America, beginning in about 1933.
		Willie Segal, who was the president of the McGill University Avukah during this period, notes that "there is a developmental distinction to be made between Avukah and the Zellig Harris group, the latter evolving out of the former" (24 Apr. 1995).

		Without an understanding of this fundamental fact, the methodological strictures that Harris imposed on his work are incomprehensible.
		Those who (without understanding this) have attempted to account for the incomprehensible have described Harris as anti-mentalist, positivist, even behaviorist—preposterous falsehoods, trivially refuted by simple examination of his writings.

		The discovery procedures of Zellig Harris can be seen as an early attempt at unsupervised phrase structure learning
		Traditionally, phrases have been defined in terms of two aspects of distribution: phrases are coherent they move, conjoin, etc. as a unit and phrases of the same type are intersubstitutable they appear in the same contexts.
