Exclude marked text when getting MATTR from MOR

[Leonid Spektor]

Amanda,

	One more suggestion is if you always want to exclude only whole utterances from MATTR computation, then Brians suggestion of adding [+ exc] post-code to end of utterance will do the job. For MATTR computation you would use -s"[+ exc]" option to tell FREQ to exclude all utterances with "[+ exc]" post-code. This way you need to have just one copy of the data. If you want to exclude just specific word(s) on utterances from MATTR, then "[+ exc]" post-code will not work.

This will prevent words surrounded by [e] from being placed on %mor tier and your FREQ MATTR command will work the way you want. Of course, this will create other problems for other analyses if words within [e] need to be analyzed by MLU or KIDEVAL or other commands. You might need to have two copies of your data. One for MATTR analyses and other data without [e] for other analyses.
