Also, I still haven't packaged the grammars, so I'll probably take that from you. Please let me know if you're interested in comaintaining.

Bug#271804: ITP: polygen -- Generate random sentences according to a grammar definition
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: polygen Version : 1.0.6 Upstream Author : Alvise Spanò [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.example.org/ * License : GPL Description : Generate random sentences according to a grammar definition PolyGen is a program for generating random sentences according to a grammar definition, that is following custom syntactical and lexical rules. Formally, it is an interpreter of a language itself designed to define languages, where to interpret means executing a source program in real time and eventually outputting its result. Here a source program is a grammar definition, the execution consists in the exploration of such grammar by selecting a random path and the result is the sentence built on the way. Though PolyGen is quite a seriuos piece of software then, what else would be more noble for it than being used as a parody tool for linguistical habits, stereotypes and trends of this foolish era? Principles of parody are focusing a ridiculous topic and eventually abstracting its rules and schemes (here in terms of a grammar definition) by which reproducing it through the variatio device. And randomization is perfect at this purpose thanks to its purely asemantic behaviour =:) Please see: http://polygen.org/web/Home.444.0.html Ciao, Enrico -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686-smp Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
