Nicole,

	Try command "freq +s"@|-v,|-cop,|-aux,|-mod,|-mod:*,|-part" *.cha". The +s option is so complicated, because there are a lot of way to mark different kind of verbs. This assumes that your data is in English and has %mor tier that was created with the latest mor grammar from childes web site. Otherwise, I don't think CLAN can do anything without explicit list of words.

Leonid.

For example, imagine I want to know how often the verb 'walk' is used in the present tense, the present progressive, simple past, etc. But in this case I don't have a specific list of verbs. Rather I want to compare all verb types to see if some occur more often in one form over the others. Is it possible to do this in CLAN? I'm working with Spanish data that has been tagged with MOR so the information I need is there with the lemmas and verb tag.
