The Semantic Genesis
My company, Crawdad Technologies, sells software which does text analysis. Here is a picture of the semantic network that represents Genesis, Chapters 1-3--basically from the beginning of the universe until Adam and Eve got thrown out of paradise, and before all the "begating" began... The technology uses natural language processing to identify words and the parts of speech (remember diagramming sentences in grade school?) and then renders a network visualization. The most "important" words are shown as a network (red=most most important, yellow=2nd, plain=3rd) and the connections represent semantic connections by the author.
The network represents the "mental map" that the average reader gets after reading the text.
If you happen to be a qualitative data researcher (either as an academic, student, or market researcher), I do have to put in a mini-pitch and say we have the best computerized text analysis software available... and you can try for 30 days free! Go to http:://www.crawdadtech.com .
If you want to see our text analysis engine in a more practical setting, visit wonkosphere.com, which is using the technology to track over 1200 political blogs as they buzz on the U.S. presidential elections.

Syntactic Structure of the sentence, "John hit the ball." An example of grammar analysis.
I used this diagram to illustrate a blog post, "Google Penalty for Low Quality Writing?" In that post, I describe how the search engines like Google could easily be performing some basic-level text analysis and spellchecking in order to automatically generate quality scores for documents. Spammers and lower-quality sites often use a combination of algorithmically-generated text, screen-scraped text, and offshore writers to create a corpus of text for webpages in order to appear relevant for keyword phrases. However, using grammar analysis, Google could penalize such sites for poor sentence composition, nonsensical sentences, and spelling errors.
