<div>Hi, Linda,</div>
<div>the problem is caused by the fact that you are apparently using
two different versions of Wakachi and JMOR,</div>
<div>namely WAKACHI98, which has been updated to Wakachi2002, and
JMOR02 (which had an earlier version matching WAKACHI98).</div>
<div>You can find the current Wakachi at the JCHAT homepage
http://jchat.cyber.sccs.chukyo-u.ac.jp/JCHAT/index.html under
"Services", or directly at
http://jchat.cyber.sccs.chukyo-u.ac.jp/JCHAT/Wakachi2002v.2.0/00front<span
></span>.html.</div>
<div>If you have to change your data from WAKACHI98 to Wakachi2002,
you may want to do systematic replacement and use a replace file
(using the not chstring but the simple replace funtion, with a</div>
<div>replace.cut). I can send you (and to anybody else interested) my
own replace.cut file.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font size="-1">First, how do we parse
compound verbs in Japanese MOR?<font face="Arial"> </font> In
Suzanne Miyata's JCHAT Manual (chapter 29), it says to do it one way
(e.g.,<font face="Arial"> </font> tabetekuru is parsed as<font
face="Arial"> </font> 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).<font face="Arial"> </font> (Basically
JCHAT Manual does not count the 2nd verb in the compound verb as a
separate morpheme, whereas WAKACHI.doc does.)</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial"

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font size="-1">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).<font face="Arial"> </font> Which is
correct?<font face="Arial"> </font> (The SMOD category does not
seem to be listed in Miyata's JCHAT Manual).</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font size="-1">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.<font face="Arial"> </font> Is this
correct?</font></blockquote>
