TopicPhrase is a special kind of NounPhrase for topics (ASK ABOUT, TELL ABOUT, TALK ABOUT, LOOK UP, etc). These phrases aren't resolved to game-world objects the way ordinary noun phrases are, but instead are resolved to conversation topic objects.

Modified in english.t[2026]:
Modifications to TopicPhrase to make it work better with the English-specific part of the library.
