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.

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.
