Separating Homophones

Dear Simge,

Yes, you can track homophony across part of speech through the %mor line.  For example, the ENG MOR program tags "too" as Result: post|too^adv|too and then POST disambiguates.  So, you can search for either of these on the %mor line.

For example, I am interested in looking at the token frequency of the additive focus particle "too" (e.g., I ate an apple, too) but I don't want it to be intermixed with the "too" that functions as an adverbial (e.g., these shoes are too small for me). How could I differentiate between them?
