VMs: Some methods - do you know them ?

["PK#01" <pklist01@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm reading "Deciphering the Indus Script" by Asko Prpola and on pages
97-100 he mentions some methods for attacking relationships within unknown
languages:

- the syntagmaic approach that studies the probabilities of sign
co-occurence
- an approach based on the work by Zellig Harris
- the paradigmatic approach based on the degree of similarity between two
signs - he gives an example that finds synonyms and antonyms in an english
text

Before I start looking into the algorithms (they're not in the book, I have
to dig deeper in the literature) I wouldl ike to know if someone ever tried
this on the VMS.
