syntactic measures for a growth curve analysis

[Yuriko Oshima-Takane]

Hi  Brian and colleagues,

 

We would like to do a growth curve analysis on some syntactic measures

using the functional data analysis. MLU is not a good syntactic measure 

for this analysis because it sometimes goes down like 1.56 -> 2.20 ->1.60
->2.15.

We are wondering if MLUs excluding one morpheme utterances could be 

used for this analysis.  But we are not sure how to exclude all the one 

morpheme utterances from the transcripts and calculate MLUs.  Could you 

please let us know how to do that? Also if you know any other syntactic 

measure which would be good for a growth curve analysis, please let us know.


Thanks.

 

Yuriko
