Language does not simply follow strict rules from institutions, but springs from countless human interactions and constant change. The difference between phrases like "give the mouse a muffin" and "give a muffin to the mouse" reveals how sentence structure maps to thought.

Even indirect speech, like veiled bribes or polite requests, shows how language helps people navigate complex social relationships.
