I would like to give an answer to this particular point, if Regina allows me to.
Roland Barthes used to say that all the languages are authoritarian. Maybe it is not true to the whole range of worlds's idioms. But certainly the Western syntax is constructed over an authoritarian conception, based on the relation Subject - object - complements (in this order and nothing other). This idea was fully developed by Décio Pignatari in Brazil but also aroused through other rehearsers in the field of Semiotics.
On the other hand, there is a pop song in Brasil (sung by Roberto Carlos) that says: everything is allright/ like 2+2=5
