Sentences as Snowflakes
View through CrossRef
The apparent complexity of the syntax of sentences can be decomposed into the interaction of some primitive and simple operations much as the complex design of snowflakes results from conditions on molecular interactions. In fact, the entire language can be regarded as a snowflake in that its structure is not progressively evolved via casual mutation but it is rather the result of general conditions on the primitive elements and the compositional rules. Symmetry and it’s opposite, asymmetry, play a crucial role, in this process.
