- Applicative Universal Grammar
Applicative Universal Grammar, or AUG, is a universal semantic metalanguage intended for studying the semantic processes in particular languages [ Shaumyan S. "A Semiotic Theory of Language". -- Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana University Press, 1987 ] .This is a linguistic theory that views the formation of phrase in a form that is analogous to function application in an applicative programming language.
