We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hello everyone,

 Does anyone happen to know some computer software or programs that  would
do  parsing for English, scanning through a body of text and just counting
the instances of different sentence structures  generating a statistical
spread? I want to see all the sentences grouped in a different window

What I want to do is to copy paste a body of movie script and sort out a
certain  type of sentences like no subject sentences, SV, SVO, SVOC, SVC,
structure.

Many thanks in advance.

Computational Linguistics - what is is?  I've seen some attempts at
this from various sources but I was wondering whether others might
like a stab at this?  Also, what are the capabilities/aims of CL - is
HAL a possible outcome - or is HAL an AI or pure CS project - or a
mixture of all of these?
