Do you have a recommendation for a good language-agnostic text / reference resource on NLP?
ETA: my own background is a professional programmer with a reasonable (undergrad) background in statistics. I've dabbled with machine learning (I'm in the process of developing this as a skill set) and messed around with python's nltk. I'd like a broader conceptual overview of NLP.
I'd recommend this book for a general overview : http://nlp.stanford.edu/fsnlp/
However, tasks like parsing are unnecessary for many tasks. A simple classifier on a sparse vector of word counts can be quite effective as a starting point in classifying sentence/document content.
