<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:11.25pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">These are interesting questions, but it will take awhile to make sure I understand the way in which you want to define each of these 5 measures. Some, such
as #2 and #5 are easy to compute from a transcript with a %mor line. Others require a grammatical dependency analysis on a %gra line. If you are new to CLAN, I would recommend starting by learning how to compute the two easiest ones and then going from
there to the more difficult ones. After #2 and #5, the next most doable would be #4, although it would take quite a lot of fussing. The most difficult are #1 and #3, although #3 depends a lot on your definitions.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:11.25pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">The more difficult ones such as #1 and #3 can also be handled by using hand coding to enter clause markers or postcodes.
