bilingual

[Ying]

Dear Leonid,

I want to get MLU, the number of different words, and also TTR from some 
Mandarin(Putonghua)-English bilingual narrative data. Also I added some 
word and utterance level codes and want to summarize the codes. For 
example, for the following sample (I am attaching the transcript after 
running the commands),

*CHI: [- zho] 我 去 了 一 个 <一个> [/]  park at s yesterday at s. [+ CS]
*CHI: It is a very big one.
*EXA: Nice.
*CHI: My mom say [* tense] “We will come from time to time”. [+ GE]
Note: 
The precode [- zho] is for Mandarin/Putonghua, as [- yue] is for Cantonese
[+ CS] is an utterance level code, indicating code-switched sentences
[+ GE] is an utterance level code, indicating sentences with grammatical 
errors
[* tense] is a word level code, indicating a tense error

Here are the commands I used:
mor +s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1
post sample_English.cha +1
mor -s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1
post sample_English.cha +1
Esc_L
freq +s"[% *]" *.cha

Questions I have:
(1) May I ignore an error and move to the next one when I run CHECK?
(2) for code-switched words within an utterance, I don't care for mor info 
such as noun or verb. But I do want to calculate MLU and TTR. If I go with 
park at s but don't bother to make park at s$n, will CLAN give me the correct 
results? 
(3) I can get codes [zho], [CS], and [GE] calculated using FREQ, but not [* 
tense]. How may I count the occurance of [* tense]. Moreover, can I know 
whether it is the same verb (e.g., say) coded [* tense]?

Thank you very much! 
Happy New Year!

Sincerely,
Ying
