Brian Macwhinney was working with me quite some time ago on a MOR system for Kiswahili but we only made a few steps into nouns. It's a huge job, probably a PhD in itself.<br>
<br>
Some researchers think MLU in words is fine though. I am not far from Leeds, in Lancaster - we should meet up. We have regular child language reading groups, mainly in Manchester. I'll make sure you're invited.<br>
<br>
Who's your supervisor in Leeds?<br>

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