Freq Command on %gra Tier

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Kimberley,
To count, for example, all the cases of XCOMP in the productions by the child in the Eve corpus in Eng-NA-MOR/Brown.zip on CHILDES, I used this command:

freq +t%gra +s"%|XCOMP" *.cha +u +t*CHI

You could add more +s switches for CMOD, CPRED, and XPRED.  Go through the documentation of the GRs in the manual to see if you consider any others to involve embedding.  Then, I suppose you want to take account of the overall size of your corpus by running

freq +t%gra *.cha +u +t*CHI

Then you can divide by the total number of tokens you get there.

Subject: Freq Command on %gra Tier

Dear All,

Thanks to my previous thread with Brian, I am excited to examine grammatical relations using the MEGRASP dependency analysis.  I was unsuccessful in figuring out the correct syntax to extract the frequency of  the following grammatical relations:  CMOD, XMOD, CPRED, XPRED.
Would someone be willing to help with that?

I am hoping to achieve a subordination index in order to assess syntactic complexity in a group of healthy adults at risk for AD.

Thank you!
Kimberly
