verb lemmas and their frequencies

[Naomi Shin]

Hi,
Sorry for being opaque. I DID get frequency for each lemma, but the
frequencies are based on *each file*, so I got output like what I've pasted
below. But what I'm asking is how to get the frequency ACROSS all the
speakers/files. So, for example, there are 3 tokens of verb stem *abridged * in
the first file and then 1 token from the child, but from a later file.
Imagine that for all the files I'm looking at there's a total of 50 tokens
of *abri *verb stem. Is there a way to just automatically extract that
number (for each verb stem) without having to manually go through and count
how many *abridged *stems there are for each file (i.e. 3+1+ ...).  In
other words, what I want is the TOTAL number of tokens of verb stem *abri* --
including all speakers and including all the Spanish files that have %mor
tiers - a few hundred files since there are often more than one file per
child (I've put them all in one folder).
I hope this clarifies the question.
Thanks!
-Naomi
