<div dir="ltr">Thank you, Melissa! That's very helpful. <div>The program Melissa mentions is available here (<a href="http://www.hlt.utdallas.edu/~nisa/ipsyn.html">http://www.hlt.utdallas.edu/~nisa/ipsyn.html</a>), if anyone else is interested in downloading it. The program (called "AC_IPSyn") accepts both CHAT and SALT transcripts. In the published paper cited in Melissa's message, the authors compare performance of AC-IPSyn to the program reported in Sagae, Lavie and MacWhinney (2005) as well as the Computerized Profiling (CP) package from Long, Fey and Channell (2004); both the average point difference to a human coder and the point-to-point reliability for AC-IPSyn are quite good. Running AC-IPSyn produces a "parsed" intermediate file for each transcript, which I think I will be able to use to generate the utterance-level measure of complexity I've been looking for.</div>

I know there has been discussion of building a program to automatically calculate IPSyn scores from CHAT transcripts. Is it possible at this point to use information on the morpheme and syntax tiers to automatically determine which of the 56 types of IPSyn constructions appear in each utterance? Ideally, for each utterance, I'd like to know the highest scoring construction from each category (NP, VP, QN, and SS), so I can calculate a measure of the complexity of that utterance.</div>
