[Article] The Linguistics of the Voynich Manuscript (Bowern et al. 2020)
#32
Gibberish is not necessarily random. There are many ways to construct gibberish in a rational orderly way and still have the result be unintelligible or meaningless.

On the other hand, something with poor syntax or low syntax is sometimes still intelligible. Some things have a very low level of syntax, like information in charts or in note form.

Maybe this section of the paper could be explained more specifically to make the meaning/context more clear to readers.
