Since the 16th century, some grammarians, such as Louis Meigret or Dominique Bouhours, have claimed that the strict rules governing French word order ensure that the language conforms more closely to a natural order of thinking than Latin, for example. According to Bouhours, only the French language exactly reflects the natural way of thinking, with the words expressing thoughts in the order in which they arise in the mind.
