(This is a poor example; but should get across the gist)
/ \ / \ / will represent the stress
Upwards means stressed and downwards means unstressed;
We can place a small horizontal band on each slash
To mark which word starts with what letter;
Then for syntax we can make a slash wavy if it is a verb
Or Bold if it is a noun... etc
You would have a system that saves Geometrical shapes that stand for sentences;
So when you write a new sentence it translates that into a geometrical shape
Then checks existing geometrical shapes and pulls up similar ones!!
Reworking project for more plausible application with "control flow" in annotations.
Another iteration of a more interesting project:
WOAH... what if we codified linguistic information as fractal... where self similarity represents semantic resonance between the individual word, sentence, paragraph, and the whole?
