RELY function 3

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Karin,
     The bag of words method just means that the program looks at the words in one transcript and then checks to see if the other transcript uses the same words.  This method doesn't pay attention to the order of words.  So, a transcript that says "This bus always arrives early" and one that says "This bus arrives always early" will end up being judged as the same, because they have the same words.
