FYI, I am currently pursuing a similar strategy; I'm planning
on collecting a large database of statistics associating
word senses (taken from word-net) with link-grammar
linkage rules; I except to be able to automatically data-mine
a number of associations and relationships.  In this way,
I hope to tag the dictionary with finer-grained parse rules.

(I suspect prepositions will remain difficult, but I've not
yet begun this experiment.)
