    WordSmith Tools (not free) has a Cluster function which takes a corpus and
    outputs word clusters based on co-occurence statistics.
    http://www.lexically.net/wordsmith/
    Version 4, while still in beta, can be used freely for about a month.
    Wordsmith can be used also with annotated corpora (it can ignore or use tags).

    The freeware AntConc program has a similar function for outputting word
    clusters.

    And here's a further list of links to some similar programs:

    Hope this helps,
