I am not sure if this is the correct newsgroup for this.
A sociologist friend of mine has to do a textual analysis of printed
media articles for her research. She is looking for a textual analysis/
content analysis program for doing this. However, she would like to
include semantic analysis rather than just looking for certain textual
patterns and keywords. The following is some details:

1. The hardware platform she prefers is Macs, although this is not
   crucial (especially if she gets the source code).
2. There should be some capability do read from online databases.

Are there any public domain programs for this type of analysis?
Please email reponses to: tuceryan@pixel.cps.msu.edu.

Thanks in advance,
Mihran
