The program still lacks support for phrases and clauses, but the support
could be added without too much difficulty. In addition, it still lacks
support for multi-word nouns and common expressions. Quite useful would be
the ability to make simple inferences from information gathered through
reading, as well as, eventually, the ability to interpret commands given in
English. In addition, the ability to understand the connections between
synonyms would help the program's internal logic. Finally, the ability to
re-write the information from the database into new sentences and combining
sentences (using the information on parts of speech stored in the database)
would be useful to make the output look more like normal human dialog and
would be a relatively simple addition. This wasn't done because it could not
be done in the time frame allotted if the more important routines were to be
finished on time).
