Help!

I tried posting to comp.ai.nlang-know-rep, but I couldn't reach the
moderator!  So I thought I'd post here, both that I may get some info.
and some help on getting thru to nlang-know-rep:


I'm looking for survey information on the different methods of sentence
analysis and text linguistics.  Since I'm relatively new to this area,
I'm interested in working both with individual sentences in isolation
*and* with units larger than a sentence, such as a paragraph, etc...  

The following is some of the information I'm looking for with each method:

	- Perhaps a brief description of the analysis method or
	  references to descriptions.
	- Input domain; which domain it was designed for, which it
	  has a problem with, etc.
	- What information the analysis yields
	- Performance characteristics, whether projected or actual.
	- Any other information you might think was useful for
	  evaluating different sentence analysis methods.

Does anyone out there know of where I can obtain this information?  I
know I can get some introductory books, or some in-depth books but
I'm really looking for information to help me evaluate and briefly understand
many different methods, then when I find some that fit my requirements, I
can delve deeper.

Thanks,

Steve Sanderson
