In this article, we present a fresh perspective on language, combining ideas from various sources, but mixed in a new synthesis. As in the minimalist program, the question is whether we can formulate an elegant formalism, a universal grammar or a mechanism which explains significant aspects of the human faculty of language, which in turn can be considered a natural disposition for the evolution and deployment of the diverse human languages. We describe such a mechanism, which differs from existing logical and grammatical approaches by its geometric nature. Our main contribution is to explore the assumption that sentence recognition takes place by forming chains of tokens representing words, followed by matching these chains with pre-existing chains representing grammatical word orders. The aligned chains of tokens give rise to two- and three-dimensional complexes. The resulting model gives an alternative presentation for subtle rules, traditionally formalized using categorial grammar.

翻译：本文提出了一种关于语言的全新视角，融合了来自不同领域的思想，并通过新的综合方式加以整合。与最简方案类似，我们的核心问题是：能否构建一种优雅的形式化体系、一种普遍语法或机制，用以解释人类语言官能的重要方面？而这一语言官能可被视为人类多样化语言进化与运用的自然禀赋。我们描述了一种不同于现有逻辑与语法方法的几何性机制。主要贡献在于探索以下假设：句子识别通过形成代表词汇的标记链，随后将这些标记链与代表语法词序的预存链进行匹配。经对齐的标记链将生成二维和三维复合结构。该模型为传统上用范畴语法形式化的精细规则提供了一种替代性表述。
