Frequency of verb forms by verb type

[Nicole Tracy-Ventura]

Thank you, Leonid. I will try that.

Do you also happen to know if there's a way to make a copy of a .cha file
where a certain speaker tier is always excluded? For example, I want to
have the participant's data only in a new file. Then I plan to use the
cp2utf +d1 +d2 command to create .txt files that I can analyze with another
program that can't distinguish between speaker tiers like CLAN (I'm only
interested in the participant's speech). I hope that makes sense.

Many thanks,
Nicole
