There is a huge literature on aspects of language that pertain to what you
bring up here, but a fresh approach is always valuable.
Perhaps you could think of some more examples for both sides of your
distinction. I have to say I don't quite understand exactly what your
insight is, but I'd like to hear more. I will do my best to bring in any
previous research results that I am aware of that may be relevant, without
being overly academic about it.
Best,
