Detecting Embedded Tensed Clauses

[john limber]

Hi Adam-  I'm don't know if you've tried this but I'd try filtering the
database for the comp verbs and then working on that fairly small subset (in
most cases I'd expect‹so small for young children you could eyeball the
short list.)

Some years ago Ray Jackendoff and others prepared a  very useful list of
these verbs and their various arguments.  I've had students use that list
and basic unix ‹especially GREP-- utilities to crudely filter texts.

Good luck

Subject:  Detecting Embedded Tensed Clauses

Hi,

Using the various search protocols and meta-data levels, is it possible to
detect embedded tensed clauses, i.e. embedded clauses with a tensed verb? I
have been trying to create a combination of criteria, involving, e.g. CPRED,
COMP, CJCT, CMOD, CPZR, etc., but with a low success rate.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam
