Remove

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Annabelle,
      Sorry about the delay in replying to your question.  The best way
to achieve what you want is not to remove the imitations and
neologisms from the %mor line, but to remove them when you actually
run your FREQ analysis.  You do this just by adding the -s switch.
So, you might have a command such as

freq +t%mor -s"neo*" *.cha

The same switch would work for VOCD.  For items that have a clear
signature in the %mor line, such as parts of speechs or neologisms,
this is easy.  The work of identifying specific words that are
imitations is another matter.  I don't know how a program can
uniformly decide whether a given word is an imitation.  Typically,
people think of imitation as a sentence-level phenomenon, not a word-
level phenomenon.  To code sentences as imitations, you can use the [+
imit] postcode and then you can include or exclude the whole utterance
using this postcode.
