32. A system adapted to process language, comprising: an input; at least one processor adapted to: (a) identify known words received through the input; (b) generating a set of candidate parts of speech from each continuous sequence of identified known words; (c) permuting at least a portion of the candidate parts of speech from each continuous sequence; (d) producing a plurality of potentially valid syntactic structures from the permuted candidate parts of speech; (e) for at least one of the potentially valid syntactic structures, generating a conceptual representation thereof based on a database of conceptual information comprising parts of speech and a dictionary; (f) determining at least one anomaly criterion for each conceptual representation; and (g) generating a response to the input, based on one or more of the conceptual representations, in dependence on the determined at least one anomaly criterion, in a conceptually appropriate manner; and at least one of an output presenting a signal sensitive to the response and the processor being adapted to process the response.
33. The system of claim 32 , wherein the permuting of candidate parts of speech is implemented as one of a bottom-up parsing process, a top-down parsing process, an Early parsing process, a finite-state parsing process, and a CYK parsing process.
