error running MLU in Italian

[Leonid Spektor]

Kelly,

	All language precodes have to have space character between the '-' character and the language name. In your example it would be [- eng]. The tier would then be:

*CLE:	[- eng] how do you say sad ?

Also, all post codes have to have space characters after '+' character, like so [+ code]. In fact most codes, in between [...], have to have space character after the first code identifying character(s).



Leonid.

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.
