| 5 | +> [The] process of placing a phrase of clause within another phrase of clause is called embedding. |
| 6 | +> It is through the processes of recursion and embedding that we are able to take a finite number of forms (words and phrases) and construct an infinite number of expressions. |
| 7 | +> Furthermore, embedding also allows us to construct an infinitely long structure, in theory anyway. |
