Auditory Grammar
Therefore, it would be beneficial if the combination of object and action sounds sounded 'correct' when the associated object's and action's categories form a legal interaction. When illegal combinations are tried, the audio representation should sound 'incorrect'.

In other words, we need an auditory grammar which is isomorphic to the object/action grammar.

It is proposed that for such a structural constraint upon the auditory domain, we should look at an inherently structured audio system with which most humans are familiar.
