It sounds like you've studied some grammar and/or linguistics. Are you
offering this formalization in order to be helpful? How does your
formalization relate to the rationality (or irrationality) of language
like "ought", "duty", "obligation" and "morality"? What is your point?
As far as I understand your specification, I agree with you.
