that the first part is lost due to space limitations? I have had that
happen with large data sets, but I don't know whether that still happens.
The entire set of results appears, but the earliest ones disappear at some point
as more results are added to the end.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

to post this kind of question is on <FONT color=#0000ff><U><A

posting a reply to both chibolts and info-childes address in case you do not

no database size limit set in CLAN except for the memory size on your computer.
Freq command should be able to count all words in database. The problem might be
the format of email messages in CLAN system or the commands and options you use.
Also, please make sure that you have the latest version of CLAN. To diagnose the
problems you are describing it would be very helpful to me if you could email me
a sample of your data and the command line you are using at <A
href="spektor@andrew.cmu.edu">spektor@andrew.cmu.edu</A>. If you are not
comfortable to email to me any sample of your data, then please just describe it
and exactly what kind of analyzes you are trying run conduct. Is your data in
just a plain text format or is it in fully legal CHAT format? If you are trying
to simply get a frequency count of all words you can use "freq +y *.cha"
command. That is assuming that your data file(s) have ".cha" extension. If you
are trying to get just count of words associated with a particular speaker and
your data is in legal CHAT format, then you can add "+t*CHI" option to above
command. The "*CHI" refers to a speaker name in your data files.<BR><BR>Hope

info-childes google group,<BR> <BR> I'm not sure if this is
the place to send questions, but if it is not, perhaps someone can point me to
the right place. <BR> I am working on data based on email
messages and have placed some 366 emails into the CLAN system. When I
run a frequency count, the outcome is words beginning with the letters O to
Z. The words beginning with A-N are missing. Is there a certain
data base size in which the program will not accurately process? Thanks,
in advance, to whomever can answer this.<BR> <BR>Best regards,<BR>Carolyn
