All NLP is about mapping the internal statistical dependencies of language, missing the point that language is a *communication protocol*.
-
You cannot study language without considering *agents* communicating *about something*.
The only reason language even has any statistical dependencies to study is because it's imperfect.
-
-
A maximally efficient communication protocol would look like random noise, out of context (besides error correction mechanisms).
-
but the error correction mechanisms are how the protocol is maintained, so your notion of "imperfect" seems ill-founded.

Personally I have a theory that human language is an expression of our genes at some level. The code we are made of, expressed.
