    Have a look at:           
    
    YIPPEE::TELL_ME (natural language access to databases)
    ULYSSE::LINGUISTICS (general linguistics)
    
    difficult to find some more precise references for "AI in linguistics".
    In the 2nd conference I mentioned, you'll find more infos related
    to machine translation and other pointers (maybe you can post again
    your question).
    For what concerns "relevant involment of DEC"...well...you can find
    some involments reading the EERP notesfiles or the MCC's Human
    Interface project notesfile (I guess is RDVAX::MCC-HI) in Austin (Texas) 
    they produced two programs:
    Lucy and Luke (semantic based parser and...I forgot). As you can
    see most is research stuff. You may also consider projects like
    PARSEKIT (software available somewhere in the AITG::) based on Vaxlisp,
    that allows you to build a NL parser describing the semantics, the
    morphology and the grammar of your language in terms of its (Parsekit)
    language. 
    Most of other ideas found difficulties to be founded (I have some
    stories I can tell you)...
