KWAL ignoring repetitions

[Leonid Spektor]

Brie,

	The command you used is supposed to output your example tier, because the command line includes search for word "dress" and this word is not followed by [* ...] code or is in [: ...]. The same command for FREQ "freq -sm** -sm@* +s"n|fairy" +s"n|dress" +t*PAR @" would also output word "n|dress". The reason it did not output word "dress" using your command with "+sdress" option is because the word "dress" does not exist on %mor tier, so by pure luck your "+sdress" option did not find that word.

One thing to remember is that KWAL will output tiers even if only one of word specified with +s option is located on the tier. if you want to exclude tiers that have either one of the specified words, then you need a different command line.

As best as I understand you search criteria I think one of the following commands will work for you:

This command will still output example tier because the word "dress" is not an error or a target replacement.
kwal -s<\**> -r5 +sfairy +sdress +t*PAR kwal.cha

If you want to exclude tier if ether one of the words is found on it, then you need two sequential command:
kwal -2 +o@ -s<\**> -r5 +sdress +t*PAR +f +d @
kwal +d4 -s<\**> -r5 +sfairy +t*PAR *kwal.cex

If you have more questions about how to customize command best for your requirements, then please email to me directly.

For other analyses (in freq), we've used -sm@* and -sm** to specify this. I tried to use this same specification for KWAL analysis but the output still considered words within targets.
