syntactic complexity using MEGRASP?

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Kimberley,
One measure people have used for AD is propositional density.  There is an automatic syntactic complexity analyzer built into CLAN.  However, you need to first have a %mor line created to use it.   In general, most measures of complexity will require some kind of part-of-speech tagging or syntactic analysis.

Subject: syntactic complexity using MEGRASP?

Dear All,

I am continuing to search for an efficient way to analyze syntactic complexity, using cookie theft samples in a late-middle aged cohort at risk for Alzheimer's Disease.  Some of these participants are declining in memory and language, but I expect deficits in syntax to be extremely subtle, if they exist at all.

I have quite a large number of transcripts, and we unfortunately did not hand code clauses beforehand, so I am hoping for an automated way to look at complexity.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sincere thanks!
Kimberly Mueller, UW Madison
