Contextual Natural Language Resources, Where Do I Start?

Where can i find some .Net or conceptual resources to start working with Natural Language where I can pull context and subjects from text. I wish not to work with word frequency algorithms.

From stackoverflow Alexandre Brisebois

• For English, there are the WordNet files, are these the kind of resources you are looking for?

  Alexandre Brisebois : Great resource, I'm also looking for research papers or real world examples i can learn from.
  From Stephen Denne

• Hank's tag change leads to a list of parsers and to libraries

  Alexandre Brisebois : Are there any .Net resources ?

  Torsten Marek : I'm afraid that you won't find many .NET resources for NLP. C# isn't very strong in academia.
  From Stephen Denne

• To find resources in part of speech tagging (a natural language processing task) look at this:

  • Natural Language Toolkit
  • PoS tagger in perl
  • SVM Tool
  • NLP Group at Stanford

  Hope it helps.

• Alex. S by speech you mean vocal processing or text processing? I'm looking for text processing resources at the moment. i have downloaded the book and will be going through it.
