We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject: Language of Medical Disclosure

Hello,

I'm doing some preliminary research on truth-telling and deception in
medical practice. I'm planning to use discourse analysis as a
methodological tool. Does anyone know if a corpus of medical
discourse (ideally patient-doctor interactions) exists and, if so,
where one can access it?

Many thanks for your help.

Regards,

Daniel

Hi. We're looking for a lexicon in Prolog that contains a
considerable chunk of the common English vocabulary. It should have
verbs conjugated, etc, not just lemmas. They should be organized by
part of speech. We've been having trouble finding a suitable one and
wondering if anyone here has access to one or knows of a public-domain
one?

Yours,
- Asad.
