example from natural language
de agent heeft de generaal gearresteerd the rules of syntax• an active perfect tense sentence has the order: <subject> heeft <direct object> <past participle> • the past participle ends with T if and only if the last letter of the root is in KOFSCHIP, so arresteren, root: arresteeR, R not in KOFSCHIP, therefore gearresteerd is ok, not gearresteert*
the rules of meaning• agent shall mean: police officer
• generaal shall mean: high ranking military officer
• arresteren shall mean: to take into police custody
• the <subject> shall mean: who did it
• the <direct object> shall mean: to whom it has happened
