accurate utterance and turn counts taking into account linguistic, verbal, and non-verbal contributi

[A Cristia]

Dear all,

I think I found the solution. Posting it here in case someone else ever has 
the same question.
We want to count separately:


   1. 
   
   Total number of interventions 
   2. 
   
   Number of verbal interventions  
   3. 
   
   Number of verbal *linguistic* interventions  
   4. 
   
   Number of verbal *non-linguistic* interventions
   5. 
   
   Number of non-verbal interventions
   
Naturally, A=B+E and B=C+D, so only 3 numbers need to be calculated.

Imagine this example:

1     *CHI: 0.

2     *CHI: &baba .

3     *CHI: &baba .

4     *CHI: &baba .

5     *CHI: bat .

6     *CHI: baby .

We'd like to find: A=6; B=5; C=2, D=3; E=1

mlt  @ 

Number of: utterances = 6 --> A


mlt +a @
Number of: utterances = 2 --> C
(Incidentally, I believe the manual pp. 118 and 119 is incorrect:"Utterances 
with no words are excluded, although they can be included using the +a 
switch." and "This switch causes all utterances to be counted, even if they 
have no words." versus the in-CLAN explanation: "+a : do not count empty 
utterances, 0.")


mlt +s"&*" @

Number of: utterances = 3 --> D

And the rest of the numbers are derived from those 3: 

B=C+D= 2+3 = 5

E=A-B=6-5=1
