<div class="im"><div><br></div><div>mor +s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1</div></div><div>post +s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1</div><div class="im"><div>mor -s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1</div>
</div><div>post -s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Here are answers to your questions:</div><div><br></div><div>1. You can fix errors in any order you like, as long as in the end CHECK reports no errors found. If you are using ESC-L CHECK, then you will not have a choice of ignoring the first error found, because ESC-L CHECK always starts from the top of the file. It has no continue from current location option.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. if you use "park@s" instead of "park@s$n", then MLU will give correct result.</div><div>The TTR results could be wrong depending on your FREQ command. If you only run FREQ with +s"[- zho]" or</div>
<div>-s"[- zho]" options, then result will be correct with either "park@s" or "park@s$n" choice. If you run FREQ without</div><div>+/-s"[- zho]" options, then you will force FREQ to compare words, for example, "park@s" and "park", which are not same, and it will inflate the TTR result. If you use "park@s$n" choice and run FREQ on %mor tier, i.e use "+t%mor -t*" options, then result will be more accurate.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3. Your sample file had "[*tense]" instead of "[* tense]" code, notice missing space character. Maybe that was the cause for failure to find "[* tense]" code. I have added the space character and got correct result searching for "[* tense]" code with this command:</div>
<div><br></div><div>freq +s"[* tense]" sample_English.cha</div><div><br></div><div>If you want to count the actual words associated with code "[* tense]", then use this command:</div><div><br></div><div>
freq +s"<* tense>" sample_English.cha</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I hope this helps and Happy New Year!</div><div><br><div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Leonid,<br><br>I want to get MLU, the number of different words, and also TTR from some Mandarin(Putonghua)-English bilingual narrative data. Also I added some word and utterance level codes and want to summarize the codes. For example, for the following sample (I am attaching the transcript after running the commands),<br>
<br>*CHI: [- zho] 我 去 了 一 个 <一个> [/] park@s yesterday@s. [+ CS]<br>*CHI: It is a very big one.<br>*EXA: Nice.<br>*CHI: My mom say [* tense] “We will come from time to time”. [+ GE]<br>Note: <br>The precode [- zho] is for Mandarin/Putonghua, as [- yue] is for Cantonese<br>
[+ CS] is an utterance level code, indicating code-switched sentences<br>[+ GE] is an utterance level code, indicating sentences with grammatical errors<br>[* tense] is a word level code, indicating a tense error<br><br>
Here are the commands I used:<br>
mor +s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1<br>post sample_English.cha +1<br>mor -s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1<br>post sample_English.cha +1<br>Esc_L<br>freq +s"[% *]" *.cha<br><br>Questions I have:<br>
(1) May I ignore an error and move to the next one when I run CHECK?<br>(2) for code-switched words within an utterance, I don't care for mor info such as noun or verb. But I do want to calculate MLU and TTR. If I go with park@s but don't bother to make park@s$n, will CLAN give me the correct results? <br>
(3) I can get codes [zho], [CS], and [GE] calculated using FREQ, but not [* tense]. How may I count the occurance of [* tense]. Moreover, can I know whether it is the same verb (e.g., say) coded [* tense]?<br><br>Thank you very much! <br>
Happy New Year!<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Ying<br><br></div><div><br></div>
