I am very interested in the application of Prolog to Natural Language processing. (I'm teaching a course on it.) Just as a matter of curiosity, why on earth do you want an *Object-Oriented* Prolog (whatever that is)? "Pure" Prolog fits rather nicely with the declarative formalisms used by linguists (and the way that a "coroutining" system like NU Prolog or SICStus lets constraints from several levels interleave can be rather useful). PATR is an example of the kind of thing I have in mind. Objects are things with state, side-effects elevated to a principle. Isn't that rather a bad fit with linguistics? -- The purpose of advertising is to destroy the freedom of the market.
