Weird language idea

All the talk last week about the difficulty of creating a truly alien
language re-inspired an idea that's been floating round my head for a
little while, for a language with only one part of speech and one
syntactical rule.
The one part of speech is the "state". This can function as a noun, a
stative verb, or even a function word depending on context. The one
syntactical rule is that each state modifies the one preceding it. Any
thoughts?
