Hmm, I don’t see how semicolons work in this sentence.
Marking up the sentence with extras to help visualize:
Buffalo-buffalo (who) Buffalo-buffalo (do) buffalo (in return also) buffalo (the other) Buffalo-buffalo.
A sentence of similar structure, subbing components for others of the same language parts…
Buffalo buffalo → other nouns qualified by adjectives
Foreign cars
Austin techbros
big money
buffalo (verb) → other verbs
covet
cost
… would be:
Foreign cars Austin techbros covet cost big money.
(edit: I couldn’t quickly think of a location adjective for the last noun, which would have stuck to the pattern more closely, but “big” is still the same role, an adjective.)
That works too! It’s basically nonsense, but since they are valid adjectives and nouns and verbs you can construct almost any structure of sentence with them.
