I think you want to use the +g switch to include specific words or words in a file. In this program, the +g is acting more like the +s in other programs. Of course, to make this work for your verb tracking exercise, you would have to have a pretty good list of verbs.</div><div><br></div><div>—Brian MacWhinney<br><div><div>On Feb 15, 2014, at 9:51 AM, Bernadette Plunkett <<a href="mailto:plunkettbernadette@gmail.com">plunkettbernadette@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div>it appears that freqpos can be used with the -s switch to exclude words in a file but not with +s to get the frequency and position of only the words in the file.</div><div>I can think of one potential work around which is it to run a combo search on the words in the file, output it to clan format and then run freqpos. </div>
<div>Can anyone think of a better one?</div><div>I'm aiming to get my students to be able to quickly search to see when verbs are used in the first position in the sentence. Some of the students are working on languages for which the data has no MOR tier.</div>
