Corpora: Syntactic/Phonologic network?

[John Goldsmith]

Mikhail Belkin and I are working along lines that might interest you --
we're primarily interested in learning from very raw corpora. We have a
paper on building a two-dimensional representation -- a map, so to speak
-- for words in a corpus, based on the distribution of words adjacent to
them.

We have a preliminary report at

Subject: Corpora: Syntactic/Phonologic network?

I know of several attempts to build sematic networks according
to semantic relations between words (e.g. cyc, WordNet). Are there
attempts to do the same for syntactic or phonological information? (e.g.
"send" will be close to "convince" syntactically because both are
ditransitive verbs.
"fish" and "wish" are similar phonologically)
Thanks,
