E' sostanzialmente un parser capace di effettuare analisi
logica e grammaticale di sentenze scritte in lingua inglese.
Sogg:             cat
Ruby Linguistic è un framework 
contenente alcune funzioni quali:

coniugazione dei tempi verbali;
concatenazione di elementi;
generazione di numeri ordinali.

Ed in più crea un layer sovrastante wordnet e link grammar.

An example: TwitterSapiens
Una piccola dimostrazione...
Room for improvements:
Non necessariamente parole semanticamente vicine fra loro concorrono a formare una frase di senso compiuto;
Utilizzare linkparser come 'validatore' della grammatica generata;
Utilizzare un descrittore di grammatica migliore;
..altro ?
