FREQ

[Leonid Spektor]

Darinka,

	If you want to get frequencies count of codes on %mor tier and their corresponding words from speaker tier, then you can use FREQ command with +d7 option. You will need to get CLAN that is less that about 9 month old. The command line is:

freq +s@|-v,r-*,-+*,&+*,#+*,=+*,o-% +d7 *.cha

To do this, excluding repetitions helps in automatic part of speech tagging.  The %mod line, on the other hand, is pegged to the main line in a way that includes all words, including repetitions.  Therefore, it will have larger numbers than a FREQ on the %mor line.  You can modify what FREQ looks at on the main line by using the +r6 switch to exclude repetitions.  You might check that.  In general, few people have used the %mod line as the target for FREQ, so we haven't payed much attention to the details of what is there.
