Applicative universal grammar, or AUG, is a universal semantic metalanguage intended for studying the semantic processes in particular languages.[1] This is a linguistic theory that views the formation of phrase structure by analogy to function application in an applicative programming language. Among the innovations in this approach to natural language processing are the ideas of functional superposition and stratified types.[2][3]
