MLU analyses questions

[Leonid Spektor]

Janet,

	The MLU uses "%mor" tier for analyses and freq uses speaker tiers. The words listed in the "exclude.cut" file have to match the format on corresponding tier. For example, when searching for word "what" on speaker tier you would specify -s"what", but when searching for the same word on "%mor" tier you would specify -s"pro:wh|what" or
-s"*|what". if you need more help, then please email your exclude.cut file to me directly, not chibolts, and I'll try to help you. 

Leonid.

I am using the -s switch such as: -s at exclude.cut in the command, but it does not seem to be working (when I use the same switch with the FREQ program, it does work). Is there a certain way the file has to be set up to exclude words for MLU? The "exclude.cut" file itself is located in the same working/library directory as the files I'm trying to analyze.
