Hello!<div><br /></div><div>I am trying to calculate the number of unique subject-verb combinations (the subject verb diversity) in a child's speech. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm able to use combo to find each instance of a child's utterance that has a subject and a verb (or participle):</div><br />combo +t*CHI +d7 +sg|SUBJ^*^m|part+m|v +g6 *.cha<br /><br />I have 2 questions:<br />1) how can I exclude utterances that are marked with $RT on the %spa tier? (In order to exclude sentences where the child is directly imitating adult speech.)<div><br />2) Is there a way to take the output of this combo command and create a list of <i>just</i> the subject-verb combinations and their frequencies? The combo command outputs the main, mor, and gra tiers, and marks the subject and verb:</div><div>*CHI:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>a baby is swimming .<br />%mor⇔%gra:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>det:art|a⇔1|2|DET (1)n|baby⇔2|4|SUBJ aux|be&3s⇔3|4|AUX<br /><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>(1)part|swim-presp⇔4|0|ROOT .⇔5|4|PUNCT</div><div><br /></div><div>It would be great if CLAN could go through and pull "baby swim" instead of having a human do it.<div><br /></div><div>I saw in the 2023 CHILDES update that you are working on calculating SVD automatically, so if there is a better way to do it than what I've come up with I would love to hear it!</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you so much!<br />Risa Stiegler</div>
