Classification (literature)

Classification is a figure of speech linking a proper noun to a common noun using the or other articles.[1]

Example
  • "Finland, the land of a thousand lakes."
  • "Japan, the land of the rising sun."
gollark: Now to figure out how much data I can gather about search results to ~~sell to Google~~ optimize my services!
gollark: I tick those boxes there to allow it to index those sites.
gollark: I've made a bit of a frontend for my search engine thing. Though it can't actually do search yet, only crawl/index/whatever pages.
gollark: Basically, if I want to run a search it just goes `SELECT * FROM page_tokens WHERE token = 'one token in search query'` or something like that, and it now has a list of pages with the right token, and SQLite can execute this query relatively fast.
gollark: I mean, as far as I can tell there isn't really a faster *and* more storage-efficient way to do search than the inverted-index page_tokens thing.
