having hot syntax takes in the house today
#the paper Im reading for class is like “if S= NP VP and VP=V S then recursion”#but like. we learned conj structures in class the other day right. and theyre defined as XP conj XP and like#that also goes infinite!#and I imagine putting S in XP position. should still work? its not a phrase but I know that “I walk and he talks” is correct#and for all intents and purposes in terms of structure it absolutely is S conj S right?#so the infinite recursion is not even necessarily hierarchical#(nevermind that the moment conj enters the chat it can recursify. everything? infinite NPs for all I care)#((ah yes jon and lisa and mark and steve and alex and.. see? goes infinite. its once again that humans cant compute infinite beyond theory)#((which. yeah. my adhd can handle even less recursion bc I lose focus. but humans literally do recursive games so often))#like in my family we do the who stole the cookies math one. “was it u no1?” “no its not! was it u no2?” etc etc#heck you can even say telephone is a phonology and recursion experiment if you think about it enough#the circle only ends when you decide so. do another round with whatever new phrase you just got. go infinite#I do not require proof that S can exist withing VP not within NP because. thats irrelevant#the moment you learn conj rules its like infinity rules but easier?? no more “ah but np can have pp and pp is p np” for you!!#.... can you tell I have. Opinions. on syntax
