It’s by emergent construction that language has this property. It’s no accident.
In order to be able to communicate at all across the arbitrary range if subjective human experience, we had to come up with sounds / words / concepts / phrases that would preserve meaning across humans to whatever functional standard necessary.
Thus language is fundamentally constructed to be “modelable” whether it be humans or machines doing the modeling.
There is a whole other realm of ineffabilities that we screen out because they aren’t modelable by language
