Exclude marked text when getting MATTR from MOR

[Brian Macwhinney]

Amanda,

I’ll let Leonid answer this in detail, but I would say that, if your goal is to systematically exclude certain utterances, the usual method is to add the [+ exc] postcode and then the -s switch.  Leonid will probably give a more adequate answer.
