If you mean syntactically, the original SCI had a syntax like:
(instance bob of Actor
(properties
(x 140)
(y 88)
(etc...)
)
(method init
(blah...)
)
)

Only one snippet of actual SCI source code is in general circulation
(the hitNineShot script from PQ: SWAT), but a debugging utility is
available in QFG2 which creates object definitions like the above. Some
other games (mostly SCI1 ones, but getting them to work there is much
harder) have them too.
For QfG2, type: "suck blue frog". "help" or ? (I can never remember
which) shows the available keys.
Ian Smith has a few source codes as well, which he got from a former
Sierra employee. Though I got them from him, I am under strict
instructions not to pass them on... but do ask him, if you'd like to see
some real code. It would be interesting to make a compiler that could
compile these original scripts.
