<div dir="ltr">Hi Brian,<br>Thank you! Yes, I have been using the propositional density measure which is derived from CPIDER within CLAN and that has been useful so far. I was hoping to obtain more specific syntax complexity measures, such as subordination index. And I do have the POS tagging from MOR, and did also run the MEGRASP command; I am just unsure of how to extract the right variables for syntactic complexity, such as a subordination index. If anyone has experience with that, I'd love to get advice!<br><br><br>On Thursday, August 25, 2016 at 10:22:09 AM UTC-5, Brian MacWhinney wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;">

have a %mor line created to use it. In general, most measures of complexity will require some kind of part-of-speech tagging or syntactic analysis.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<br>
<br>
I am continuing to search for an efficient way to analyze syntactic complexity, using cookie theft samples in a late-middle aged cohort at risk for Alzheimer's Disease. Some of these participants are declining in memory and language, but I expect deficits
in syntax to be extremely subtle, if they exist at all.<br>
<br>
I have quite a large number of transcripts, and we unfortunately did not hand code clauses beforehand, so I am hoping for an automated way to look at complexity. Does anyone have any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Sincere thanks!<br>
