Wikifunctions:Type proposals/Abstract sentence/Douglas Adams

This example is freely inspired by w:simple:Douglas Adams. It uses a lot of new types that have not been laid out yet, so take this example only as a preview of the potentiality that Abstract sentences could achieve in the future. The specific types will need to be discussed in order to reach consensus before being implemented, so don't worry if you don't agree with the specific technical implementation showed in this draft.
