Hi, David.
IMHO, I've read somewhere that Susan Langer comment on visual media,
which I think closely related with 'language', stated that they
(visual media or perphaps 'design') "have no vocabulary of units with
independet meanings" as words may do.
Early Writing on Visual Language by Neil Cohn, maybe quite close to
your study on design language, but I'm not sure if you would like to
compare how the design works as compare to how language being used.
The grammar of design language is in their use of elements and
principles of art, in the actual practices of designing, it's not
comparable.
