>homophones and homonyms can be used to...through the use of homophony and homonymy

Nice, wikipedia; nicce.

This sentence can be arbitrarily long and still be grammatical

>Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo
i cant imagine being this autistic desu
i thank the gods every day

Dr. Chomsky?

Your grammatically correct sentence is missing punctuation.

>Posting the exact same thing in different threads
i cant imagine being this autistic desu
i thank the gods every day

Police police police police police police police police police police police police police.

Vsauce

Doesn't that sentence stop making sense after the third police?
Police police police as in The police (noun) police (verb) police. As in, the police police themselves.

Bufallo police bufallo police police police bufallo bufallo.

I don't get the last two police

There should only be 12 instances of 'police' in this sentence or else it doesn't make sense. Or rather, there should be an even number of instances of police.

(The) police police police (the) police.
4 instances of "police". The third is a verb.

(The) police police police police (the) police police.
6 instances of "police". The fourth is a verb.

(The) [math]{police}_n[/math] police (the) [math]{police}_{n-1}[/math].
2n instances of police. The n+1th is a verb.

Nope, it still works

Here's a relexicalization which might make it easier to see

Autism

autism solves more problems than it creates when it is properly applied

Huh this is like the shit I did in my Programming Languages course. Interesting.

it takes like 5 minutes to do that

now read this in a slav accent

No punctuation is needed.

Would you need punctuation in the sentence "Bison bully other bison"? How about "New Yorker bison bully other New Yorker bison"? Obviously no need for punctuation. And then we extend it to "New Yorker bison New Yorker bison bully also choose to bully New Yorker Bison". Gramatically, that sentence is the same as Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo, and as you see there's no need for punctuation.

At least mathematicians have the honesty to revise their theories after it turned out that they were completely retarded.

What's with uptalk? Will it become its own dialect?

are you thinking of something specific or are you just regurgitating a headline?

everyone does uptalk, same thing with creaky voice. people just notice it with young women because for some reason it became a stereotype of them. it's not going to "become its own dialect" because pretty much everyone already does it.

The men whom women love are the ones who also love children

same as
The men whom women love love children

same as
Men whom women love love children

same as
Men women love love children

replace love with buffalo (harass)
Men women buffalo buffalo children

All the men, women and children are from Buffalo
Buffalo Men Buffalo women buffalo buffalo Buffalo children

Replace all the men, women and children with buffalo
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

>everyone does uptalk, same thing with creaky voice
That's absolute bollocks. Most people in Britain speak almost entirely in the modal voice and reserve the rising intonation for questions.

the man the woman the child hit married ran

Interestingly, these kinds of "center-embedded" sentences can be rendered easier to process by manipulating the referential content of the NPs at inner clause boundaries.
>The man the woman the host knew invited left
vs
>The man someone he knew invited left

Same principle applies to some kinds of syntactic "islands."

James, while John had had ‘had’, had had ‘had had’; ‘had had’ had had a better effect on the teacher.

turning nouns to pronouns doesn't always make it easier to read, and in fact it seemed to make it harder to read here.
it would be better to expand it into
>the woman the host knew invited a man who left

normally you can expand it into multiple sentences, and you still can
>the host knows a woman. the man she invited left. (or "she invited a man who left")
and turning it to a pronoun did help in this case.

Making it "the woman the host knew invited a man who left" gets rid of the center embedding, which is not the goal. The goal is to make the center embedding easier to process. If you're going to get rid of the center embedding you could just make it "the host knows the woman who invited the man who left."
