Writing systems display ubiquitous linguistic structure, from the recursive syntactic properties of their glyphs to the morphology/phonology of their combinatorics. This extends to Ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Sumerian ideograms. Pure ideography requires switching this influence off. The pervasive linguistic tinge to the fabric of writing systems suggests that the chances of breaking what Morin terms language's lock-in effect are slim.
书写系统展示了普遍存在的语言结构，从它们的字形的递归句法属性到它们的组合的形态/音韵。这也适用于古埃及、中文和苏美尔的表意文字。纯粹的表意文字需要关闭这种影响。书写系统结构中普遍存在的语言色彩表明，打破莫林所谓的语言“锁定效应”的可能性很小。
