Parsegame.Home

This page lives in the new Parsegame group, created in anticipation of increased parse game activity.

For the original parse game page that is in the Linguistics group and has a couple of comments posted, go to Linguistics.Parse game

NOTE:When creating new pages relevant to the parse game, please create in group Parsegame. You can create a new page using the form, upper left, by typing in Parsegame.Newpage, or by editing any page and adding [[Parsegame.Newpage]]. If a group is not indicated, the new page will be created in whatever group the page on which the new page created lives. So, if you're already on a page in Parsegame (such as this one) and you create a new page by simply typing [[Newpage]], it will be created in parsegame.

Questions: How to pick new words. Ideas:

    * Nth word of online source or newspaper article
    * Random dict word (but how to pick?)
          o Check for random word generators

As with gin rummy or solitaire, parse game will have many different forms. Here's one: Players each have their own 'hands'. Hands consist of words (or morphemes?) perhaps firstly dealt, but regardless, from then on chosen from some sort of random word/morpheme generator. Also needed is a random node generator (NP, VP, etc.) Each player is playing their own S Each player can see the other players nodes. Basically, all is out in the open. The first player to 'play out' wins. Players take turns drawing words/morphemes and nodes. A player can 'give up' a drawn morpheme/node, but if so, the other player has the option of picking it up on their turn.
