Excluding utterances on PAR line

Thu Dec 20 21:09:25 UTC 2018

Brie,

	It looks like FREQ counted all speaker tiers in the transcript file and not just the ones that were selected by user. Counting speaker tiers present in the file is not part of FREQ analyses, because tier names are not included in frequency counts or TTR. This function was added to FREQ just for the purpose of counting all speaker tiers in the file. I have changed FREQ to only count speaker tiers that are selected by user to make sure that output results are more consistent with other CLAN commands. I will install new CLAN on the web later today.

Leonid.

If you are not sure, then I would suggest to just type a command, like FREQ, by itself in commands window and you will get quick description of what those options do. For example, if you type FREQ, then under line "+sS: search for word S in an input file." you will see description of differences between codes and post-codes.
