Freq in a bilingual conversation

[Leonid Spektor]

Alex,

	Unfortunately the manual has combined two mutually exclusive options into one. The correct commands for example file angela.cha from CUHK corpus are:

freq +l +s*@s:zho angela.cha

freq +s"<- zho>" angela.cha


Combination of options "+l +s*@s:zho" will locate all words spoken in zho language. The option +s"<- zho> will only locate utterances that have either all or most words spoken in zho language.

Leonid.
