Abstract
The title of this research was “Relationship between Golden Ratio and Internalized Linguistic System of the human brain”. This study followed a mixed approach to explore two research questions. The first was whether the movement driven phrase structures carry golden ratio at the head position in their constituency or not. The second research question was whether golden ratio is a constructive statistical regularity or not. The null hypothesis that this study aimed to test was that there is no relationship between golden ratio and internalized linguistic system (ILS) of the human brain. In order to explore the research questions content analysis and argument were used. In order to test the null hypothesis 202 telegraphic speech structures by 47 toddlers aged between 24 to 30 months located in Lahore and Shakar Garh were selected as sample. 202 mature structures spoken by the parents of the same toddlers were selected as the counterpart for telegraphic structures as sample. Analysis of the XP elementary trees proved that golden ratio lies in the topmost constituency of X phrases in the pre-movement condition. Argument and discussion proved that golden ratio is a constructive statistical regularity in language. Quantitative data analysis comprising the ratio between the number of words in each telegraphic structure and that in each mature counterpart structure was found in the golden ratio. One sample t-test proved the high significance level of the sample structures generalizable for the population. This study concluded that there existed a strong relationship between golden ratio and ILS of the human brain. This valid research is replicable for future studies.
