what do people talk about in human languages?
not so much algorithm specification, but rather, just passing what we would call data.
but this data is often in rather specific forms:
- episodic data: eg 'Mary is at the store. She's coming back in time for the movie' eg 'Alice and Bob got engaged'
- semantic data:' eg 'A giraffe is a very tall animal with a long neck.' eg 'Smelting is a form of extractive metallurgy; its main use is to produce a metal from its ore.' (the second example is from Wikipedia)
- conditional implications: eg semantic: 'If the barometric pressure is low, storms are more likely' (rare) eg episodic: 'If Tron gets good reviews, i'll go see it' eg threatening: 'If you don't stop playing that music i don't like, i'm going home'
- 'typical' data: eg 'The current account balance of customer 4524 is 1000'; (rare)

what is the typical bit-proportion of overhead from http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agreement_(linguistics) etc (i guess http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflection is the general teerm?)in natural language? and how much of this is redundancy?
