Re: Hypersimple & Dreadfully Unnatural Grammars

<snip>
Basically, I thought that the reason why humans could not parse highly

convoluted word orders such as these, is that not only are there a limite=
d
number of specialized slots available, but each slot can only hold one
item at a time.  So, for example, after parsing a subject that subject
would have to be collected into a higher order slot (e.g. for a whole
sentence) before another subject could be parsed.

RPN and enter embedding word orders both suffer from problems under such
restrictions.

However, RPN does not require that all the arguments be put on the stack
before being resolved. You can see that 3 3 + 3 + will give the same resu=
lt
as 3 3 3 + +.  If the terms are collected as soon as possible then there
should be at most three arguments for a trivalent verb and perhaps one or
two already resolved fragments waiting below them on the stack until some
later verb resolves them as well.
