Can you copyright the syntax of a programming language in the USA?

By Yahoo User • Category: Copyrights in USA

I don’t mean the source code that’s in the compiler, but the actual set of features that the programmer must learn to use the language. Is this still yet to be definitively decided in the US courts? I suspect it’s unresolved. What about other countries?
