Articles about formal aspects of language

I recommend article 15. 'The divine impetus of the new computer technology' which extracts most of what is interesting in the other articles. It postulates four fundamental theorems.
The fundamental theorem of linguistics
1. The fundamental theorem of linguistics briefly stated
2. The fundamental theorem of linguistics
3. Fatima and the fundamental theorem of linguistics
4. The philosopher's white stone and distinctive feature theory
'Essential' matter forms ex nihilo and seems to correlate with distinctive acoustic features of spoken language
The fundamental theorem of logic/statistics
5. The fundamental theorem of logic briefly stated
6. The fundamental theorem of logic/statistics
A fundamental theorem of statistics and logic in one single formula
7. More on the fundamental theorem of logic/statistics

Articles combining the theorems
