Xerox PARC and Fuji labs both have active groups in this area; I just
had lunch with one of the smart guys down there in Palo Alto. Natural
languages are probably in the chomsky type 0 category. Chomsky I
*think* showed how at a certain level all languages follow a certain
over-grammar (my dumb term).
Getting all possible interpretations of "I once shot an elephant in my
pajamas" is pretty easy. Figuring out which one makes sense is another
story ;)
