Hidden Grammatical Rules as a System for Studying Mind and Brain
1. Introduction
Some grammatical rules—either explicitly documented by grammarians or implicitly embedded in our language—compose a hidden system. This system can serve as a scientific framework to explore cognitive and psychological structures of brain and mind.
2. First- and Second‑Person Pronoun Patterns
Consider the grammatical use of first-person pronouns, which we label as Person‑I.1 (e.g., "I‑M‑I‑N") and Person‑I.2 (e.g., "A‑Z"). These trigger grammatical rules that are partly unnoticed by linguists.
Rule 1: Person‑I.1 appears in all three tenses—present, past, and future—by default.
Rule 2: Person‑I.2 follows different patterns. In one rule, Person‑I.2 replaces Person‑I.1 in certain tenses.
Rule 3: A third rule uses Person‑I.1 for past tense, and Person‑I.2 for present and future.
Rule 4: In social contexts, combinations of Person‑I.1 and Person‑I.2 form five sub‑rules, reflecting interaction patterns.
These rules are systematically applied—though unconsciously—and shape the structure of conversation.
3. Emerging Sub-Rules and Psychological Impact
Rule 4, concerning social interaction, splits into five sub-rules. Each governs shifts between Person‑I.1 and I.2, shaping distinct interaction styles. These patterns may give rise to personality profiles—which can be valuable for psychological assessment or applied in neurogram-based profiling systems.
4. Cross‑Language Insight
By uncovering these unconscious grammatical systems in our own language, we can apply similar exploration to others. This principle aligns with research showing that hidden grammar structures—and their neural processing—are key to understanding sentence comprehension .
5. Unconscious Consistency and Cognitive Science Implications
We speak using these unconscious rules consistently, without noticing errors or effort. This suggests a stable, systematic grammar at play—parallel to findings in neurolinguistics showing our brain’s sensitivity to hidden structural patterns in language .
6. Toward a New Framework: Neurogram Integration
Our goal is to identify these hidden grammatical rules to feed into a neurogram, a model mapping grammar to neural and psychological profiles. By doing so, we contribute to a novel interdisciplinary field—where grammar, mind, and brain converge, advancing this new scientific approach.
Why this translation works:
Clarity & structure: Uses headings and numbered sections for organization .
Scientific wording: Avoids idiomatic expressions, favors precise academic language.
Evidence-based phrasing: References to neurolinguistics and brain-based grammar research back the text
