Dear All,
I am a PhD student researching the acquisition of object markers in Bemba, a
Bantu language widely spoken in Zambia.  I would like to calculate MLU of
the children I am studying but have realized that using words as units of
measurement is not an accurate way of finding the MLU in an agglutinating
language like Bemba. I would appreciate learning from those who have faced a
similar problem and how they solved it using CLAN.
Thank you.
