Pierre Lévy, a French philosopher who's been writing about cyberspace since the 1990s and who is the Canada research chair in collective intelligence at the University of Ottawa, is working on software that can do just this. He's done the math and annotated the entire French dictionary with a language—or, as he calls it, a hyper-language, since it describes words that already form a language of their own—that he calls IEML, or the Information Economy MetaLanguage. All that's left is to do the actual coding to turn it into an automatic system. 

IEML works by describing every word in a given language with symbols that can be arranged to indicate meaning along several axes: empty, virtual, actual, things, beings, and signs. An algorithm capable of recognizing and computing these symbols builds a network of semantic meaning within an IEML text, and computes its relations to other texts. By building software that can convert natural language into this code, and letting computers communicate with each other using it, the nature of online communication and what we can learn from analyzing it would be totally altered.
