Problems with vocd

[Linda Mortensen]

Dear list members,

I would like to use the vocd program to get type-token ratios for a set of
transcriptions. I need to know the TTRs for the lemmas (rather than for the
word forms), and therefore I use the following command (mentioned on p. 127
in the CLAN manual):
vocd +t%mor ?t* +s"*|*-%%" *mor.cha
(I don't need the +s"*|*&%%" function, so have left it out)

In addition, I would like to exclude from the TTR count a number of
hesitations that I have written in an exclude file. My problem is that when
I add the exclude command (-s"@exclude.cut") to the above command like this:
vocd +t%mor ?t* +s"*|*-%%" -s"@exclude.cut" *.mor.cha

this command is not executed. In other words, the hesitations in the
exclude list are not excluded. Is this because the exclude command only
applies to the main line? If so, how do I combine a command that uses vocd
on the main line with one that uses vocd on the MOR line? I have tried to
experiment with the piping command, but without any success. Can anyone
help? Any help is much appreciated.

Linda
