error running MLU in Italian

[Brian Macwhinney]

Dear Kelly,
     If you want to conduct analyses on one language in a code-switched corpus, you need to mark up your transcript in accord with the principles in section 16.1 of the CHAT manual on “Code-switching”.  Once you have done this, you can use the +s switch in programs like FREQ or KWAL to pull out utterances with codes like [- ita] or [- eng] at the beginning of utterances, or perhaps words with markings such as @s.
