I don't have any source code for you, but if you are willing to roll-your-own
you should read the book "Efficient Parsing for Natural Language" by Masaru
Tomita, published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.  This is the algorithm my
group at MIT uses for natural language parsing in Lisp, and it's very close to
the algorithm used by Infocom in their recent game "Shogun".
