NLP Resources

This is a list of resources I am using to learn about natural language processing related to the ISHML project..

Infocom Parser: http://ifwiki.org/index.php/Infocom-type_parser
How to understand natural language processing in 81 easy lectures
Glossary of terms: https://glossary.sil.org/term/grammatical-category

More on noun phrases: https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/noun-phrase
Adpositions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preposition_and_postposition#Terminology
Adpositions can be used to express a wide range of semantic relations between their complement and the rest of the context. The relations expressed may be spatial (denoting location or direction), temporal (denoting position in time), or relations expressing comparison, content, agent, instrument, means, manner, cause, purpose, reference, etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrasal_verb
...a phrasal verb is a phrase such as turn down or ran into which combines two or three words from different grammatical categories: a verb and a particle and/or a preposition together form a single semantic unit. This semantic unit cannot be understood based upon the meanings of the individual parts, but must be taken as a whole. In other words, the meaning is non-compositional and thus unpredictable.[1] Phrasal verbs that include a preposition are known as prepositional verbs and phrasal verbs that include a particle are also known as particle verbs. Additional alternative terms for phrasal verb are compound verb, verb-adverb combination, verb-particle construction, two-part word/verb, and three-part word/verb (depending on the number of particles), and multi-word verb

On Modeling Languages

Well, I was spending a lot of time wondering how far I could stretch the definition of  modeling language.  It turns out the definition is very stretchy. I was worried that a graphically oriented interface for ISML would cause it to cease to be a modeling language.  Turns out I was wrong. Quoting from Wikipedia :  A modeling language is any artificial language that can be used to express information or knowledge or systems in a structure that is defined by a consistent set of rules... A modeling language can be graphical or textual. ISML fits the definition well.  I'm going to stop worrying about my initialism and get back to work.

Don't Call Me ISML

Well, it appears that the ISML acronym is already a bit overloaded:  https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/ISML .  That's OK. I'll just change it to ISHML, which stands for Interactive Story Hypertext Modeling Language.  You can still call it "Ishmael," though. This is actually more descriptive of what this language is turning out to be: some custom HTML elements that when combined with the ISHML story engine creates an Interactive Fiction experience in you web browser.
