Subject:  Q. Syntactic Parser
 
We are a research Institute specialized in Arabic  computing .
We are currently working on English/Arabic  computer-assisted translation.
Our ATN -based parser of English is sort of getting complicated. We would
like to know if elaborate parsers of English that can be used for our
purposes
 exist , and if we can obtain one, so that we will concentrate on the
generation
of Arabic structure. (If not freeware, please indicate price).
You may reply to me, or preferably to Lamia Labed who is in charge of the
project at Lamia at speech.rsinet.tn
Thank you for your cooperation.

Can anyone help me with references on the subject force dynamics in
language, as it is described in Talmy (1985). I know that Jackendoff (1990)
and Pinker (1989) refers to it in their analyses of verb semantics,
 
Jackendoff, R. (1990). Semantic structures. MIT Press.
 
Pinker, S. (1989). Learnability and cognition. MIT Press.

Does anyone know of good materials for studying Icelandic in a
self-instructional mode?  Or, where is Icelandic taught in the US?  Thank you,

I believe she is at Free University of Berlin.
