This isn't exactly current but is at least in the last decade. NLP is a broad field, so you aren't likely to find many general survey papars on it. If you are interested in a particular area of nlp, you can also try citeseer, a very good resourse for finding papers and references.
Could somebody point me to a current survey article on NLP that is available online ?

Also, you can consider books. A popular one is the Jurafsky book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0130950696/ref=pd_sim_books_1/102-3435785-6163311?v=glance&s=books
