Résumé:
Je présente un modèle de langage algébrique pour le japonais dans le cadre
d'une grammaire de types. L'analyse porte autant sur la morphologie in-
flectionnelle que sur la syntaxe. Les mathématiques utilisées pour vérifier la
grammaticalité d'une phrase ou d'un syntagme invoquent une généralisation
du fameux concept de groupe.
