Automatic generator of sentences

A generating automatic of sentences is a Programme which generates Phrase S starting from a well defined corpus. It is about a trickery of which the goal is the probability of a text invented by the program. Somebody who uses such a Matrice will be astonished by the coherence of the matter however composed of all parts by assembly randomly of pieces of sentences. How a program can create a whole Discours which has direction?

Actually a generator of sentences gives only the illusion to create direction. An analysis of the Isotopy S of the text generated watch that it has in fact almost no direction, and which the speaker (the generator of sentence) develops a topic given without never entering the sharp one of the subject, by Supercherie, with the manner of a speaker who speaks the “Set language”.

Technique

How does the generation do without the sentences? It is enough to ask the program to generate sentences on a Thème (linguistic) precise. The program selects the lexical Champ correspondent with this topic, then it assembles with the Hasard the Terme S of the lexical field in order to form sentences.

the lexical field in question must be rather vast so that the same terms too often do not return, in order to give the Illusion of a variety in the matter.
Each term of the lexical field, placed randomly in the generated sentence, must be able to belong to any generated sentence without there being grammatical inconsistency . Certain terms are thus excluded from the base of lexical data, because they are, in the natural sentences, placed in a precise place of the sentence. One can however preserve these terms in the lexical base by obliging the generator to place them in a sentence or a text at the place where they are usually: the term firstly , for example, will be placed some sentences before the term secondly . The Texte generated gains thus in complexity thus in Vraisemblance.
the lexical base should not comprise terms too much, under penalty of a greater risk of Incongruité.
the topics approached by the generator automatics of sentences must be topics where one usually crosses technical and unusual terms: for example, the Kantian philosophy or the theory of the Superfluidity. In this way, on the one hand, the unknown terms by the reader reinforce the impression of a speech considered thus natural, and on the other hand they can more easily belong to a tighter lexical field thus presenting less risk of incongruity.

An automatic generator of sentence is sometimes very astonishing and can be used as ludic Test to know if a professional of a precise field (for example philosophy) can detect or not trickery. But especially, it is an object of reflection for the study of the Sémantique and the artificial languages.

Example

An example of generated sentence not having any direction but which, for the non-specialist, can pass for probable:

the organization rousseauist of continuity rises from a universal representation of the objectivism. The paradox of the rational antipodism illustrates, by là-même, the idea according to which the objectivism is neither more nor less than one moral immutability. It is then obvious that Kierkegaard interprets the synthetic analysis of continuity.

One will notice the tool by là-même , being used to connect in a wrongfully erudite way two Idée S without no report/ratio one with the other. But the reader tries to build a report/ratio, like it of with the practice; all the words of philosophy having at least between them a common point, which is to belong to the field of philosophy, the reader believes to include/understand at least a thing, they are that it acts, in this text, of philosophy, or at least of Social sciences. That can sometimes be enough with probability to the matter, especially if a Contexte or a quite selected Cotexte comes to reinforce it, a such supposed speech official being.
