MOR tier for German corpora

[Lanna McRae]

Hi all, 

I'm running some CLAN FREQ searches for my MA thesis and could use advice 
on how to handle German verbs in the %mor tier. I'm trying to calculate 
frequency of transitive verbs in German child-directed speech, but I'm 
running into problems with separable-prefix verbs. 

On the %mor tier, I've noticed that separable-prefix verbs appear as the 
correct lemma (ex. *anrufen*) when they are in the infinitive. But in 
finite forms where the prefix is separated, the prefix is often tagged as 
an adverb/particle (ex. adv|an  v|rufen). Because of this, it's hard for me 
to get accurate lemma counts.

I’ve also come across instances where multiword sequences such as *darunter 
bauen* (“build underneath it”) are analyzed as a pseudo-lemma like 
*darunterbauen*.

   - Is there a way in CLAN/MOR to consistently output the full verb lemma 
   (prefix + stem) without going line by line?
   - Is there a recommended process to recombine prefix+ stem (but avoid 
   false lemmas like *darunterbauen*)?

As a separate problem, I’ve also noticed that some forms of wissen (like 
*weiß*) are being tagged as *weißen *(“to whiten”) on the %mor tier. 

   - Is this a known issue in the German MOR grammar?
   - Is there a standard fix for this in CLAN?

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
Lanna
