Frequency of verb forms by verb type

[Leonid Spektor]

Kevin,

	Your suggestion to use Unix commands or any other non-CLAN commands on CHAT data is not a good idea, unless you take extra precautions, because CHAT format allows long tiers to wrap-around. Non-CLAN commands will work often, but they will fail on wrapped-around tiers and will leave out the part of tier that is wrapped. If you really want to use non-CLAN commands, then you should first run CLAN's LONGTIER command to remove all the tier wrapping and to make sure that the whole tier is on one line.

Leonid.
