Aqui nos va a examinar un altere proposition con multiple syntagmas identificate per questiones. Iste vice le propositiones introductori que explica le scopo del questiones essera omittite:

(1) De qui va nos parlar? De Samuel F. B. Morse.

(2) Qui esseva Samuel F. B. Morse? Ille esseva un pictor american.

(3) Que faceva Samuel F. B. Morse? Ille construeva duo instrumentos.

--> Samuel F. B. Morse, (qui esseva) un pictor american, construeva duo instrumentos.

(4) Que tipo de instrumentos construeva ille? Instrumentos telegraphic. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, un pictor american, construeva duo instrumentos telegraphic.

(5) Que faceva iste instrumentos? Illos permitteva le transmission instante del linguage scribite a grande distantias. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, un pictor american, construeva duo instrumentos telegraphic. Iste instrumentos permitteva le transmission del linguage scribite a grande distantias. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, un pictor american, construeva duo instrumentos telegraphic que permitteva le transmission instante del linguage scribite a grande distantias.

(6) Como representava iste instrumentos le linguage scribite? Con un alphabeto de punctos e lineettas. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, un pictor american, construeva duo instrumentos telegraphic que permitteva le transmission instante del linguage scribite a grande distantias con un alphabeto de punctos e lineettas.

(7) Qui habeva inventate iste alphabeto de punctos e lineettas? Samuel F. B. Morse mesme. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, un pictor american, construeva duo instrumentos telegraphic que permitteva le transmission instante del linguage scribite a grande distantias con un alphabeto de punctos e lineettas.

Ille mesme habeva inventate iste alphabeto. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, un pictor american, construeva duo instrumentos telegraphic que permitteva le transmission instante del linguage scribite a grande distantias con un alphabeto de punctos e lineettas que ille mesme habeva inventate.

(8) Quando habeva inventate Samuel F. B. Morse su instrumentos telegraphic e iste alphabeto? Verso 1837 (mille octo centos trenta e septe). --> Verso 1837, Samuel F. B. Morse, un pictor american, construeva duo instrumentos telegraphic que permitteva le transmission instante del linguage scribite a grande distantias con un alphabeto de punctos e lineettas que ille mesme habeva inventate.

Naturalmente il ha altere methodos que on pote usar pro demonstrar le manieras de assemblar componentes syntagmatic a in propositiones. Ma iste maniera que usa questiones e responsas es typographicamente assatis simple e demonstra como mesmo asseverationes assatis complicate pote resolver se a in parve dialogos.

Nostre prime linguas probabilemente esseva principalmente instrumentos usate per parve gruppos de personas pro communicar rapidemente sentimentos e informationes assatis simple que les adjuvava multo in assecurar lor superviventia durante que illes cambiava informationes sur como facer utensilios de petra, como usar los in le chassa, como seliger plantas que les nutrirea e evitar plantas que les invenenarea, etc.

Le linguage es utilissime in contextos que exige le communication de information utile e concrete. Illo deveni minus efficace quando illo deveni plus abstracte, como in le caso de asseverationes como "Le spirito de justitia debe accordar se con le exigentias del leges natural que governa le ultime principios del moralitate del universo." (Linguage simile se trova sovente in textos philosophic e religiose.)

Tal asseverationes es multo proxime a manipulationes syntactic completemente vacue, como "Le blomsequitate de seburationes blinescopic debe axonar se con le ultime sacsitationes que claxina le crestulentia que dropsina le ultime sacsitiones final del chemprinocte."

Hmm... Io me demanda como se pote traducer isto al chinese.

Here we are going to examine another sentence with multiple syntagms identified by questions. This time the introductory sentences that explain the purpose of the questions will be left out:

(1) Who are we going to talk about? Samuel F. B. Morse.

(2) Who was Samuel F. B. Morse? He was an American painter.

(3) What did Samuel F. B. Morse do? He constructed two instruments.

--> Samuel F. B. Morse, (who was) an American painter, constructed two instruments.

(4) What kind of instruments did he construct? Telegraphic instruments. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, an American painter, constructed two telegraphic instruments.

(5) What did these instruments do? They permitted the instant transmission of written language. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, an American painter, constructed two telegraphic instruments. These instruments permitted the instant transmission of written language over great distances. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, an American painter, constructed two telegraphic instruments that permitted the instant transmission of written language over great distances.

(6) How did these instruments represent written language? With an alphabet of dots and dashes. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, an American painter, constructed two telegraphic instruments that permitted the instant transmission of written language over great distances with an alphabet of dots and dashes.

(7) Who had invented this alphabet of dots and dashes? Samuel F. B. Morse himself. --> Samuel F. B. Morse, an American painter, constructed two telegraphic instruments that permitted the instant transmission of written language over great distances with an alphabet of dots and dashes.

He himself had invented this alphabet. --> Samuel F. B.Morse, an American painter, constructed two telegraphic instruments that permitted the instant transmission of written language over great distances with an alphabet of dots and dashes.

(8) When had Samuel F. B. Morse invented his telegraphic instruments and this alphabet? Toward 1837 (eighteen thirty-seven). --> Toward 1837, Samuel F. B. Morse, an American painter, constructed two telegraphic instruments that permitted the instant transmission of written language over great distances with an alphabet of dots and dashes that he himself had invented.

Naturally, there are other ways that can be used to demonstrate how to assemble syntagmatic components into sentences. But this method that uses questions and answers is typographically rather simple and demonstrates how even rather complicated statements can be resolved into small dialogues.

Most likely, our first languages were principally instruments used by small groups of people to quickly communicate feelings and rather simple information that helped them a lot in assuring their survival as they exchanged information about how to make tools from stone, how to use them in hunting, how to select plants that would nourish them and avoid plants that would poison them, etc.

Language is very useful in contexts that demand the communication of useful and concrete information. It becomes less effective when it becomes more abstract, in the case of statements like "The spirit of justice should be in conformity with the demands of the natural laws that govern the ultimate principles of the morality of the universe." (Similar language is often found in philosophical and religious texts.)

Such statements are very close to completely vacuous syntactic manipulations, such as "The blomsequity of blinescopic seburations should axonate themselves with the ultimate sacsitations that claxinate the crestulence that dropsinates the final sacsitations of the chemprinox."

Hmm... I'm wondering how this could be translated into Chinese.
