But languages always have regularity in their rules. So what I mean by that is that if I wanted to say something to you in the optimal way to say it, what really mattered to me, all that mattered was keeping the dependencies as close together as possible, then I would have a very lax set of phrase structure or dependency rule. I wouldn't have very many of those. I would have very little of that.
