[sci.lang] English language parser needed

phoebe@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU (Phoebe J Sengers) (01/10/90)

In connection with some research I am doing in the development
of association nets I am in desperate need of an English
language parser for serial machines or the Connection Machine.  
I am looking for something that will (hopefully) take normal
English text and return sentence trees or a similar grammatical
structure.  I realize that to do this correctly is an unsolved 
problem but would be quite cheerful with something hacked together 
that will give me a partially correct result.  Anything that works 
across an approximately similar domain would be quite welcome.

If anyone has software to share or can give me some pointers 
in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks,
Phoebe Sengers
