> So, if there is no innate grammar, why the phrase "large red ball" feels more correct than "red large ball"
Word order is just dependent on language. In Romance languages it would be "large ball red"
No, the question is deeper.
Is there an innate parsing "hardware" that can parse (and produce) a phrase based on an structure? What are the limitations of that structure. (And I'd say that if there are no limitations this article is right)
There are several grammars that can encode "2 + 4 > 3" for example, you can express the same thing with a Lisp grammar, but beyond the grammar specifics, you're expressing a meaning
