The analysis

The claim that human language is mathematically infinite is a standard theoretical consensus in linguistics, rooted in formal language theory and the property of recursion. Papers such as [2], [4], and [7] explicitly discuss how recursive operations (like Merge) allow natural language to generate unbounded or infinite arrays of hierarchical expressions. No provided papers refute this core mathematical property of generative grammar.
