This paper describes an automated procedure for the identification and subsequent transformation of nominal forms into the corresponding adjectival forms, participles into nominal forms, and a method for adjectivization of certain Greek and Latin phrases in medical language. The paper is an extension of our previous report which dealt with transforms of adjectives into nouns and nouns plural into nouns singular in medical English. It is a part of the information retrieval system for processing of pathology data which was developed at the Division of Computer Research and Technology, National Institutes of Health.
