tallying affixes

[Leonid Spektor]

Jamie,

	Here are a few commands that will let you do what I understand you want:

The +u option in these commands will combine all words from all data files specified on command line into one list, instead of creating separate lists of words for every data file individually.

This command will list all suffixes and prefixes along with words they were used with in %mor tier format:
freq +s"@#*" +s"@-*" +s"@&-*" +u *.cha

Adding +d7 option will also display each corresponding word from speaker tier:
freq +s"@#*" +s"@-*" +s"@&-*" +d7 +u  *.cha

If you want to count how many distinct suffixes and prefixes there are, then use this command:
freq +s"@#*,o%" +s"@-*,o%" +s"@&-*,o%" +u *.cha

To also include the original form of the %mor formatted word that is associated with each suffix and prefix add +d6 option:
freq +s"@#*,o%" +s"@-*,o%" +s"@&-*,o%" +d6 +u *.cha

To see what corresponding words on speaker tier look like replace +d6 with +d7 option:
freq +s"@#*,o%" +s"@-*,o%" +s"@&-*,o%" +d7 +u *.cha

The +d7 option will only work if you download the latest version of CLAN.
Hope this help.

Leonid.
