>From "Merge and the Strong Minimalist Thesis" by Noam Chomsky, et. al. (2023):
"Your knowledge of language is *infinite*, but your memory is *finite*. Your knowledge of language therefore can't be just a list of memorized sentences. A central component of any theory of language, then, involves generating an infinity of sentences with finite resources. >From a finite set of atomic elements, *lexical items* (roughly but not exactly words) composed of irreducible linguistic features, the syntax must build an infinite array of hierarchically structured expressions interpretable at the 'meaning' interface and available for externalization at the 'form' (sound/sign) interface, the so-called basic property of language (Berwick and Chomsky 2016)."
