<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Good morning,</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>We have two questions about Japanese MOR. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>First, how do we parse compound verbs in Japanese MOR? In Suzanne
Miyata's JCHAT Manual (chapter 29), it says to do it one way (e.g., tabetekuru
is parsed as v:v|tabe-tekur-PRES) and in the WAKACHI.doc file that is part of
the downloadable JMOR program from the CHILDES website, it says to do it
another way (e.g., for the same compound verb tabetekuru). (Basically JCHAT
Manual does not count the 2<sup>nd</sup> verb in the compound verb as a
separate morpheme, whereas WAKACHI.doc does.)</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Second, in Miyata's JCHAT Manual, mitai is categorized
as SMOD (Sentence modalizer) but in Wakachi it's categorized as an
auxiliary verb (v:aux|mitai-PRES). Which is correct? (The SMOD category does
not seem to be listed in Miyata's JCHAT Manual).</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>We think that when Miyata's JCHAT Manual and
Wakachi.doc conflict, that the Japanese MOR program follows Wakachi.doc, in
terms of the choices it gives you. Is this correct?</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
