<div>Phillis,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>To limit the analysis to certain number of words spoken by
the child for example,</div>
<div>the command is:</div>
<div><br>
<font color="#0000FF">freq +t*CHI<b> +z100w</b> filename.cha<x-tab>
</x-tab>=> analyze the first 100 words only</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000FF">freq +t*CHI<b> +z200w</b>
filename.cha<x-tab> </x-tab>=> analyze the first 200 words
only</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000FF">freq +t*CHI<b> +z400w</b>
filename.cha<x-tab> </x-tab>=> analyze the first 400 words
only</font><br>
<font color="#0000FF"></font></div>
<div>=> it generates an alphabetical list of the first 100 words
used by the target child along with the frequency with which these
words occur in the transcript (filename.cha).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hope this is helpful.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Since the issue of counting words has
come up: Is there any way to limit<br>
analyses to a certain number of words? Thomas Klee in an article
on sample<br>
analyses recommended calculating type-token ratio based on word
limits<br>
rather than utterance limits -- 100, 200, or 400 word samples. I
can't see<br>
any way to do this with CLAN other than counting the words by
hand.<br>
<br>
Thanks--<br>
