• A chart parser which handles a subset of a children's story
• Frame-based analysis of a subset of a children's story
• Generator (symbolic or localist connectionist) which handles a subset of a children's story
• Transfer approach to translation of a subset of a children's story
• Two-level phonology/morphology for a subset of a language
• Statistical extraction of lexical "semantics" from a large database
• Statistical extraction of part-of-speech categories from a database
• Simple recurrent network which learns a simple grammar
• Connectionist network which learns to associate simple sentence syntax with sentence semantics
• Connectionist network which learns script-generated "stories" (as in St. John)
• Symbolic model which learns unknown words based on linguistic context
