It would also be easy to do using Obj-C, with the NSLinguisticTagger API:

Does TextMate have the ability to locate all verbs, nouns and adjectives

Do you know where I might find such a script?
If it were me, I would do this with Python's Natural Language Toolkit ( http://nltk.org). Specifically, the examples on this page show how easy it is to extract verbs, nouns and adjectives:
http://nltk.org/book/ch05.html
It would be very straightforward to write a small Python script that would use the NLTK to identify each of these types of words from a string, and then if you want call this from TextMate (e.g., passing the current window content as input).
