Description: generator of random sentences from grammar definitions
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 serious 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 =:)
