I should note that David Beaver posted a short review of the
summarization of this in New Scientist on Language Log. It debunks
some of the excessive claims that the summary offers connection
between syntactic structure and event structure relationships. I
haven't read the PNAS article so I don't know whether the original
authors make such claims.
