Non-Chomskyan Syntax Page

Whoa...  Sending a flame message right after a new member
announces himself.  Not cool.

Anyway, I've been working on my first ever syntax page--on
Zhyler--so I just thought I'd post a link to it so that it can be
seen that a language can have structure and still be non-Chomskyan.
After all, just because a language *can* be structureless doesn't
mean that it shouldn't have any structure at all.  That you can't
say "The the a chase tree up dog cat -d" in English is, at least,
interesting, even if you can do that very same thing in a conlang.

Here's the link to the site:

http://dedalvs.free.fr/zhyler/syntax.html

It's very long, but isn't even halfway done.  It employs
something I've always wanted to try: 3D trees.

P.S.: Pinuyo looks cool!  I've bookmarked it.
