Jeff and Jackie, I already extracted the text from the PDF into a Word doc, and also made a version in which I stripped out all text that was not spoken. (I am attaching it here.) Since the Lojbanists are a tech-savvy group, I'm hoping that somebody on the Lojban list will know of a piece of software that will mulch it so each unique word is listed once. Then we would have a very rough estimate of how many rare or difficult concepts we will have to develop with the Lojban vocabulary-creation system. -Matt On 7/14/06, Priskorn, Jeff <JeffP@accessitx.com> wrote:
Jacquie and I are excited to have our script be considered for this
project. I'm not sure how to exactly go about creating a list of the
individual words in the script; however, I would be happy to get you a
version of the script in whatever format might make it easier for you to
extract the necessary information (MS Word, text document, etc.). Let me
know if we can help in any way.
ki'e! :)

Subject: Re: FW: lojban talks! (fwd)
For those just joining us, here's the website I am referring to:
http://www.loveandplutonium.com/
Love & Plutonium contains 7,030 words of English dialogue, if you
include Dr. Medlo's written To-Do list. That's only 500 more words than
True Extremes. I was tickled by this story and would be willing to put
my efforts toward the translation. What do the rest of you think? Our
first task would be to figure out how to say plutonium! How about {lo
sovomoi selratni}?
I'd also like to somehow derive a list of all the individual words used
in this text. I wish I knew how to do that.
