Complex syntax

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Cynthia,
There is a short, medium, and a long answer to this.  The short answer is “no”, but that answer is quite misleading.  The medium answer is that the grammatical relations of Spanish, particularly on the interclausal level, are nearly the same as those for English.  Therefore, the routine for complexity computation presented in the CLAN manual should work nearly correctly for Spanish.  The longer answer is that I could spend time working on this, but not for several weeks.  Actually, that is not a long answer.  Rather, it is a short answer that points to a long timeframe.

Best,

--Brian MacW

Subject: Re: Complex syntax

Is there a procedure for freq of complex syntax for Spanish? I'm looking for the equivalent of the MEGRASP/freq procedure to count clausal types in Spanish using the %gra tier.

Thanks,
Cynthia Core

Yes, this is described in section 7.10.14 of the CLAN manual.

    Hi -
    Are there any commands that can help me count the number of sentence types - simple/complex and count different types of complex sentences? I see commands to calculate ratios of one two verb utterances and IPSYN, but I am looking for something that is more specific to syntactic diversity and clausal diversity  and that counts the number of complex versus simple sentences.

    Thank you,
    Cynthia Core
