<p class="MsoNormal">Dear chibolts, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am interested in examining patterns in CDS for words of different parts of speech, and I am hoping to be able to use the %mor line from CHILDES corpora for this analysis. I am running my analyses in R, using regular expressions to identify
the part of speech for each word, which is working very well (thank you for making these excellent corpora available!). I am having trouble interpreting some of the MOR codes, however. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a complete list anywhere giving the definitions of the MOR codes? <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was able to find several informative posts on this topic (<a href="https://groups.google.com/d/msg/chibolts/5N8m43WrCZs/jSkHAm6aSY8J">https://groups.google.com/d/msg/chibolts/5N8m43WrCZs/jSkHAm6aSY8J</a>,
<a href="https://groups.google.com/d/msg/chibolts/mLxcw2qyPpk/-wOqnUhh3HgJ">https://groups.google.com/d/msg/chibolts/mLxcw2qyPpk/-wOqnUhh3HgJ</a>, <a href="https://groups.google.com/d/msg/chibolts/zAevVn1HUoU/ULg-ub4iBAAJ">https://groups.google.com/d/msg/chibolts/zAevVn1HUoU/ULg-ub4iBAAJ</a>),
but none actually provide a complete list of definitions of MOR tags for English. The
<a href="http://childes.talkbank.org/manuals/CHAT.pdf">CHAT manual</a> provides definitions and examples for common codes (Table 45 p.114, and Table 50 p.118) but omits many less common codes, and the article linked at the top of the
<a href="http://childes.talkbank.org/morgrams/">MOR grammars page</a> is helpful in terms of understanding how MOR works but does not define the MOR codes themselves except as examples. I have also examined the English mor files, as
<a href="https://groups.google.com/d/msg/chibolts/mLxcw2qyPpk/bvVDqGl974oJ">Leonid</a> and
<a href="https://groups.google.com/d/msg/chibolts/zAevVn1HUoU/v4sFNHUtBAAJ">Brian</a> have recommended, and while this yields a (nearly) complete list of the codes, I couldn't find anything like definitions of each. Many are obvious (n is noun, v is verb, det
is determiner) but I'd like to be able to check a few (e.g. n:pt, meta, bq, cm). <o:p></o:p></p>
