Running FREQ for bilingual transcripts

[Lulu]

Dear Brian,

But I'd like to get separate counts for English and Chinese words. Let me 
rephrase my question. In a predominantly English transcript, I'd like to 
get a count of ALL English words, including the ones embedded in [- zho] 
lines marked with @s. I can now achieve this by running two separate 
commands (TCH is teacher):

freq +tTCH -s"[- zho-yue]" -s"[- zho]" *.cha
freq +tTCH +s*@s* *.cha

There are two issues with the 2-command solution:
1. I get two sets of counts that need to be summed manually.
2. The same word with and without @s are counted as two types.

I was wondering if there's a way to combine these two commands and resolve 
these two issues (or at least one). Below is an excerpt of my transcript 
(TCH is teacher) (for IRB reasons, I cannot provide the whole transcript):

*TCH:    you can take this heart .
*TCH:    [- zho] this at s$n 星 .

Thank you so much for your patience and kindness.

Lulu
