I'm an EFL teacher, and I think my knowlege of grammar is better than
most EFL teachers and I used to work as a chemical analyst, but I
must admit that I'm getting a bit lost here. Most of what has been
written seems to be aproaching a mathematical codification of
language, yet I don't see any evidence that when so encoded,
mathematical operations can be performed. It doesn't seem to have any
pedagogical use for language learners, and I'm not even sure that it
gives native speakers a deeper insight into their own language. Above
all else, what is the point of all this.
