Aaaah. Such an exquisite Thread and I come only as of now to read it (by reading a thread at www.fieldmethods.net referencing it). Have a look at www.petamem.com and for some demo at nlp.petamem.com. The companys products run to 99% on Perl.

Comment on Re: What are the monks doing with Perl and Linguistics?
I played with the re-diacriticizer and had a bit of fun. It did correctly recognize the ambiguity of certain phrases/words like (den) Lastern (vices, trucks/lorries), das Lästern (backbiting, trash talking), usw. Definitely fun to play with. No code, though =(. At least none I could find. It would be interesting to see how it works.
