Modular Language Architecture
This section will explore how a language could be broken down into modules.
Module Breakdown
- Phonotactics
- Different rules for how a phonology can be assembled into words.
- Writing System
- Structure, Syntax, and Semantics
- Vocabulary
- Provides set of non-core/non-syntactic/non-structural words with defined meanings
- Not attached to specific phonological forms
- Different vocabulary module instances could incorporate different philosophies
- e.g. world view for constructing composites:
- Have a word for 'tooth', or have a compound like 'mouth-stone'?
