combo using clause delimiters

[Brian MacWhinney]

Bruno,
    Yes, this will work in the sense that MLU will compute by combining the clauses into utterances. However, I note that you are using LIDES coding conventions that we stopped encouraging about 12 years ago.  It would be better if you could use current CHAT conventions.

There is no way for any program to see a transcription break +. and recognize that that tier's content in in the same utterance as something that follows...

An example line follows (please ignore the morphological markings on the main tier for the moment--I've discussed this in a different thread and we intend to replace them with a proper MOR tier):

We want to output each matched CLAUSE (so the line above would give actually 4 output matches, since all 4 clauses have some kind of mixing (note that this is not the same as outputting each match, since we collapse all matches obtained within a single clause--see the first clause in the example above).
