<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">Dear Ying,<div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>First I would suggest that you use +/-s" [- zho]" option with both MOR and POST commands:</div><div><br></div><div>mor +s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1</div><div>post +s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1</div><div>mor -s"[- zho]" sample_English.cha +1</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>
