Abstract

We are interested in creating a universal grammar structure, so that learning languages becomes a much easier task than it is now. We obviously cannot dream of having all languages on earth adopting this universal grammar, so that this is at most for those languages that are associated with our occidental style of writing. The Brazilian and Portuguese peoples decided to unify their language once and then reached several agreements which formed the new language, basically. With this, Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese Portuguese became almost the same thing. In the same way, we could have all languages that adopt the occidental style of writing sharing the same grammar structure. This paper is then about a dream, but, because of the experience with the Portuguese language, we know that this is an achievable dream.
