more coding questions

[Catherine Torrington Eaton]

Thank you for your responses, Yvan and Brian.

We have decided not to use Phon because we are only interested in coding positive vs. negative phonological rule usage in identified environments. We'd prefer to insert codes on the main tier where we have identified potential environments.

Unfortunately even with the space inserted into the code, we are still getting errors. I also moved all codes to the end of the utterance (rather than inserting them immediately after the relevant phonological environment) and they did not pass CHECK. I'm assuming that these post codes are before the delimiter (they didn't pass CHECK after the delimiter either)?

Thank you again for your assistance,
Cathy

Dear Cathy,
    The problem here might be the fact that you need to put a space after the plus for [+ rel].  I am assuming that
you are placing this code at the end of the utterance as a post code.  Also, FREQ can definitely count these and KWAL
can search for them.  The command would be

freq +s"[+ rel]" *.cha

See Table 4 in section 10.6 of the CLAN manual.
