Question about flucalc in bilingual samples

Wed Apr 4 20:49:39 UTC 2018

Shelley,

Yes, FREQ counts all words.  If you want FREQ to ignore the words in a second language, you can add -s"*@s".  However, for FluCalc, it would seem to me that excluding a single word from the other language would skew the analysis.  Of course, it makes sense to exclude whole utterances in the other language that are marked with codes like [- spa] and Leonid agrees that it makes sense to add this facility to FluCalc.

Is there a way to count just the Spanish words for flucalc?
