Thank you so much for your quick reply. That helps a lot. I haven’t transcribed in French for a while and kept coming up with problems.

Regards

Vivienne

These changes are fairly easy to make globally if you use a system such as RegEx.  I think CHSTRING in CLAN can fix these globally too.

If you are transcribing new data, you will see these problems when you run MOR.  Then just take a look at the lexicon to see the current forms.  Also, the file 0allwords.cex will help.

For the qu’ words I’ve put qu(e) and that gets around it but for the determiners I don’t want to assign a gender as it’s L2 learner data and I want to search for all the genders. If I add that information in then it will mess up my combos (I think). I’m also having a problem with compound words that we used to do as quelque+chose. I’m using the new fra mor that I downloaded from the website yesterday and using a mac.
