"Language as a Cognitive Process, Vol. 1, Syntax" by Terry Winograd is
an excellent reference including detailed algorithms for Eliza-like
pattern-directed interaction, simple context free parsers, etc.  It also
shows how to build a lexicon and use it.  The publisher is Addison-Wesley.

The book uses a strange sort of pseudo-code which puts some people off, 
but it is a great source of information if you can get over that hurdle.
