Google "Natural Language Processing".
There are Context Free Grammar (CFG) parsers, Ordered CFG parsers (OCFG), link
grammars, top down, bottom up, and many more.
A lot of people are working on computer parsing, and there is a lot of
literature on the subject. Myself, I've invented two new methods of machine
parsing <http://fiziwig.com/parser/parse2.html> and I'm working on a third
right now.
