The Role of Syntax in Language
Languages have rules. The rules of a language are called the grammar. The reason for these rules is that a person needs to be able to speak an indeterminately large number of sentences in a lifetime. The effort would be impossibly great if each sentence had to be learnt separately.
By learning the rules for connecting words it is possible to create an infinite number of sentences, all of which are meaningful to a person who knows the syntax. Thus it is possible to construct many sentences that the speaker has never heard before.
A finite number of rules facilitates an infinite number of sentences that can be simultaneously understood by both the speaker and the listener.
In order for this to work with any degree of success, the rules have to be precise and have to be consistently adhered to. These rules cover such things as: the way words are constructed; the way the endings of words are changed according to context (inflection); the classification of words into parts of speech (nouns, verbs, pronouns, etc.); the way parts of speech are connected together.
The rules of grammar do not have to be explicitly understood by the speaker of the language or the listener.
The majority of native speakers of a language will have no formal knowledge of the grammar of a language but are still capable of speaking the language grammatically to a great degree of accuracy. Native speakers of a language assimilate these rules subconsciously while the language is being learned as a child.
The Components of Grammars
The grammar of a language has several components. These can be described as follows:
a) The phonetics that governs the structure of sounds;
b) The morphology that governs the structure of words;
c) The syntax, which governs the structure of sentences
d) The semantics that governs the meanings of words and sentences.
John 1
Joh 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2
The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
" In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word WAS God..."
"And God SAID, Let there be light...and there was light.."
Why was Don Juan so interested in Syntax? Why was it so important to an understanding of this world we live in?
You see above that part of this group of rules called "syntax", "semantics", had to do with the meanings of the words used. Makes sense, right?
How can you communicate if you do not agree on a definition?
Now here comes Paul in the New Testament speaking about the Old Testament "stories."
Ga 4:22
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
Ga 4:23
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Ga 4:24
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar
If the "darkness" could not, and cannot, comprehend the shining of the light, one of the reasons is that their "semantics" are wrong. The failure of realizing a story was created/written in Allegorical form, is to fail to discern the intent of the author. You will only see the suface meaning of the story.
Now, since the Entire Creation was created by the Word of God, if we take that line of thinking a step further, then ALL OF CREATION, from the lowest to the highest realms are also Allegorical in form.
To read the creation story, or any allegorical story, for that matter, takes a tremendous amount of concentration. Especially when the foriegn intallation and other people's foriegn installations, ("the Darkness"), tells you that what you are reading is literal.
Now take it a step further.
Those that have "seen" past the obvious are telling us that our "syntax" is wrong when it comes to everything we come in contact with. Everything we see, hear, feel, taste, touch and know has a deeper meaning.
We are living our lives within a "book" that was written allegorically and we must learn to give less credence to the surface meaning of the "words" (elements of this world) and more credence to what those elements are telling us.
