Extract word list from a mor tagged corpus, restore the original form of the tagged words

Dear YuJen,
    MOR is designed to change the forms on the main line to analyzed forms on the %mor line.  CLAN is not really designed to give you access to both the main line form and the %mor line form at the same time.  It is not clear from your message exactly when and how you need to have access to the main line forms.  There are some limited abilities to retrieve corresponding forms that can work in COMBO or KWAL, but the best way to approach this systematically would be through a search of the XML version of the corpus where the %mor forms and the main line forms are together in a single bundle.  You can create XML versions of CHAT corpora using the Chatter program.  Then you would use your regular expression matching software to process the XML.

I used mor to tag a text corpus, and then I use a regular expression software to extract the words by matching the part of speech tags created by mor. The word list extracted seems fine, but I found that some of the lexical forms have changed by mor in the %mor tier. For example, the plural form of a noun, the tenses of a verb...
