Problem with using EVAL and C-NNLA commands

[Brian Macwhinney]

Jorge,
    Thanks for your message.  I’m glad that batchalign is working okay for you in terms of taggng.  

Regarding C-NNLA, the origianl NNLA program from Northwestern was only designed and tested fo work with English.  Developing a similar instrument for other languages would be a project for each language.

EVAL was also never operative for Spanish.  However, making it work for Spanish would not be fundamentally difficult.  It will just take some time. Having some Spanish aphasia data n AphasiaBank would be a great moiivating force getting us to make EVAL working for Spanish.

I have previously used the batchalign script to have accurate %mor and %gra tiers tags, since the tagging using CLAN´s command of MOR was not as accurate. But now that I try to use the EVAL and C-NNLA commands with the resulting chat files, several fields appear in blank (including number of verbs and nouns). Beforehand, I ran the CHECK command and corrected all detected errors.
