One group, a sentence is formed with a subject-verb-object (SVO) structure. An example would be "The man reads the sign". The second way to form a sentence which is like the Japanese would be the subject-object-verb (SOV) structure. The same sentence example would come out like this: "The man the sign reads".
Researchers are now looking at information theory for finding the reason why 85% of culture use these two language structures.
What is Information Theory?
Information theory is the science of quantifying information. It studies how communication signals can be reduced down to its most fundamental basic limit of information.
Information theory is not to be confused with information science. Information science is primarily concerned with the analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval and dissemination of information.
Information theory is used in processes such as compressing, storage, and transmission of data. It tries to find the minimum amount of bits needed to store or communicate a word or symbol in a message without compromising the message itself.
