Abstract

This paper describes the characteristics of compact text as revealed in computer analysis of a set of physician notes. Computer processing of the documents was performed using the LSP system for natural language analysis. A numerical breakdown of syntactic and semantic patterns found in the texts is presented. It is found that four major properties of compact text make it possible to process the content of the documents with syntactic procedures that operate on full free text.
