I am wondering if I need to list possible variations or if there is a way to account for more options. Of course, I'd rather the output include more possibilities than fewer. Similarly, for a phrase like "a long time ago," an individual with aphasia might only include "long ago." In this case, CLAN probably wouldn't include the abbreviated version, correct? Would it be better to just include key words in the phrase like "long ^ ago"? What about bound morphemes that might be mistakenly dropped?</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>You can use COMBO for those searches.
