I was trying to find a good distinction between a genres and
Schank and Abelson's "scripts." Both have essential, prohibited, and
optional elements. Both have specific goals and structures. One idea I
came across was that genres are typically non-interactive (e.g.,
non-interruptible). Maybe some of you genre experts out there could
give me a hand.
