1 An example of something recursive is an essay that keeps repeating the same ideas over and over again. 2  reapplying the same formula or algorithm to a number or result in order to generate the next number or result in a series.  returning again and again to a point or points already made: a recursive style of writing.
Recursion, in sum, allows language to become an infinite system. The Chomskyan view is that this ability is quite special, unique to humans. It is, in essence, what distinguishes us from other animals-the source of complex thought and communication, and thus complex mathematical, artistic and linguistic ability.Abe and Watanabe's study shows that songbirds are able to process a recursive grammar-this is perhaps the most significant aspect of their paper.ore on that later. First, a summary of the study: An influential hypothesis, put forward by Noam Chomsky and colleagues, is that one ability-recursion-enables language, and that humans are alone in having this capacity.
