Unfortunately, the website has marketing all over it. The only thing I could find on Google scholar was about how Netbase is doing parsing of Chinese, based on phrase chunking and then extracting dependency relations using phrase chunks.

I wonder if this is true for all the languages, since this is usually considered shallow parsing (and not deep parsing, a word that seems to be in the white papers). Constructing an 'old-school' grammar for deep syntactic analysis (I am thinking HPSG, CG, or LFG-style here) of 42 languages is a very tedious task if you want to get any decent coverage.

Not all languages receive the "deep" treatment. Eight, going on nine, have full-time linguists working on developing grammars.
