<div dir="ltr">Dear Brian,<br><br>Thank you for this, it is working nicely. I went through the manual, and decided to add a few other grammatical relations in order to capture syntactic complexity. I am hoping that you (or others) might look it over and let me know if this list appears sound? The entire list includes the following:<br><br>CSUBJ: the finite clausal subject of another clause<br>COMP: the finite clausal complement of a verb <br>XCOMP: the non-finite clausal complement of a verb <br>CPRED: a full clause that serves as the predicate nominal of verbs<br>CPOBJ: a full clause that serves as the object of a preposition<br>COBJ: a full clause that serves as object<br>XJCT: a non-finite clause that attaches to a verb, adjective, or adverb<br>NJCT: the head of a complex Noun Phrase with a prepositional phrase attached as an adjunct of a noun.<br>CMOD: a finite clause that is a nominal modifier or complement<br>XMOD: a non-finite clause that is a nominal modifier or complement.<br><br>Taking the sum of these captured and then dividing by the total number of GRs for that sample, yielding a syntactic complexity ratio. <br><br>Thank you again for all of your help,<br>Kimberly<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>On Wednesday, August 31, 2016 at 1:50:10 PM UTC-5, Brian MacWhinney wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;">

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<br>
<br>
Thanks to my previous thread with Brian, I am excited to examine grammatical relations using the MEGRASP dependency analysis. I was unsuccessful in figuring out the correct syntax to extract the frequency of the following grammatical relations:
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">CMOD, XMOD, CPRED, XPRED.<br>
Would someone be willing to help with that?<br>
<br>
I am hoping to achieve a subordination index in order to assess syntactic complexity in a group of healthy adults at risk for AD.
<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
Kimberly</span></p>
