How to obtain verb frequencies for marked segments

[Leonid Spektor]

Linda,

	GEMFREQ command was designed to do simple search. It is a simplified shortcut for combination of GEM and FREQ commands. The +s option in GEMFREQ specifies the name of the gem that you wan to extract and the +w option specifies the words on speaker tiers you want to analyze. But, GEMFREQ is not designed to recognize the %mor tier searches specified with +s@|... option. There is no CLAN program that can break down analysis based on gems. You need to use the following command and run it separately for every gem you are interested in:

gem +t%mor +ssome_gem +d *.cha | freq +s@|v,|v:*

The +s option on GEM command's side of '|' character tell GEM to extract a gem with "some_gem" label. Or you can use these two commands:

gem +t%mor +ssome_gem +d +fsome_gem *.cha
freq +s@|v,|v:* *.some_gem.cex

To do this, I first use the MOR command to generate a CHAT file that contains both main lines and %mor lines. In this MOR file I have inserted the "@BG:" and "@EG:" markers to segment each file into portions corresponding to the pictures that are described in the file. I have inserted the "@BG:" marker before the first main line associated with a given picture and the "@EG:" marker after the last %mor line associated with the same picture. I then use the following GEMFREQ command: gemfreq +fS +t%mor +s@|v,|v:* *.cha. But when I run this command, I get a file that lists the frequency of each word in the file (not just the verbs), and the frequencies are given for the entire file (not for each marked segment separately). How do I get the frequencies for each @BG- at EG marked segment? And how do I limit the frequency counts to the verbs only?
