Expanding FLUCALC to other languages would certainly help speed up fluency research across languages. I'd happy to continue the discussion on the side about fluency data set in Mandarin to support the modification of FLUCALC. For now, we'll rely on FREQ to get part of the analysis done. Thanks for all the input. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Peitzu</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">On Monday, October 25, 2021 at 12:05:09 PM UTC-7 macw wrote:<br/></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Correct. Moreover we have no comparison fluency data set for other languages, although there might be some eventually for Dutch. Supporting fluency analysis for Chinese would be a great thing for fluency research, but it would be a big project, hopefully supported by grants from China.<div><br><div>
