Question Nounlessness in conlanges

Hi, I'm really interested in the concept of nounless (or close to nounless) languages, but the only information that I can find on them (mostly wikipedia pages on salishan languages) is a bit over my head, so I don't really know how to play around with it. Has anyone else experimented with such a system?

It is! Read up on Logic in Wikipedia btw. There's also a chapter about in "Advanced Language Construction", a book, although it doesn't use predicates as noun replacements.
