So what's interesting about that is that what I'm doing is nesting dependencies there. I've got a subject connected to a verb there, and then I'm modifying that with a clause, another clause, which happens to have a subject and a verb relation. I'm trying to do that again on the second one. And what that does is it

lengthens out the dependence multiple dependents actually get lengthened out there the dependencies get get longer longer on the outside ones get long and even the ones in between get kind of long and and and you just so what's fascinating is that that's bad that's really horrendous in english but that's horrendous in any language and so in no matter what language you look at if you do you

just figure out some structure where I'm going to have some modification following some head, which is connected to some later head, and I do it again, it won't be good. Guaranteed. Like 100%, that will be uninterpretable in that language in the same way that was uninterpretable in English.

That's a good question. I'll just say words. Your words are morphemes between. We don't know that. Actually, that's a very good question. What is the distance metric? But let's just say it's words.

They will have a hard time either producing or comprehending it. They might tell you that's not their language. It's sort of their language. They'll agree with each of those pieces as part of their language, but somehow that combination will be very, very difficult to produce and understand.

is... Well, I'm giving you an explanation. I'm giving you two kinds of explanations. I'm telling you that center embedding, that's nesting, those are synonyms for the same concept here. And the explanation for why... Those are always hard. Center embedding and nesting are always hard. And I gave you an explanation for why they might be hard, which is long-distance connections.

When you do center embedding, when you do nesting, you always have long-distance connections between the dependents. You just... So that's not necessarily the right explanation. I can go through reasons why that's probably a good explanation. And it's not really just about one of them.
