From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 in a form that is analogous to function application in a programming language.
