This is the source code/syntax for a context-free language twitter bot that I wrote. This bot is written in Tracery and is hosted and powered by cheapbotsdonequick

I wrote this bot with an idea to apply some of the basic phrase structure rules commonly taught in an introductory syntax course to a CFL. Likely not an original idea, but I thought it would be interesting. I then combined those rules with (roughly) the 100 most common words in English for N, V, AdV, a smattering of Adjs, and few important determiners.
The PS rules I implemented are here enumerated below
- VP -> V(NP)(PP)(AdvP)
- NP -> (Det)(AdjP)N(PP)
- PP -> P(NP)
- AdvP -> (AdvP)Adv
- AdjP -> (AdvP) Adj
These rules are then combined into the following simple TP strctures:
| TP1 | TP2 |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Obviously there are more complex PS rules, but tweets have a character limit and the more complex the rule I make the less likely the tweet will be under the character limit. Hence the rules I choose.
