Korean is an subject-object-verb (SOV) language, which shares the a similar structure to Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) used in concatenative, stack-oriented computer programming languages such as Forth and Factor. By this, I mean that SOV and RPN both have operators (i.e. verbs and adjectives, in the case of Korean) in the final position, which take the proceeding subject and object as arguments. In other words, SOV could be seen as (S,O)V where S and O are arguments to V. Similarly, nouns can take adjectives or even relative clauses as arguments, verbs take adverbs, particles take nouns, verb endings (어미) take verbs, etc. Taken further, this can be visualized as a concatenated list of values being pushed on and off of a stack like stack-oriented computer languages do when they are executing programs. I believe this stack analogy may be able to help some Korean (and other SOV) language learners better mentally parse sentences while reading.
This is surely not a perfect analogy and I do not claim this to be an original idea, but it was simply something I noticed when learning about the Factor language and drew parallels to the way Korean is structured.
