Limit number of child utterances for CLAN analysis

[Brian Macwhinney]

Silke,

Yes, you can add the +z switch to most of the relevant CLAN programs to determine how many utterances and from what point in the transcript to what other point.  Check out section 14.13 of other manual.

If we're analysing transcripts that are not of equal length (e.g., 50 vs. 80 child utterances), is there a way to tell CLAN to only include the first 50 utterances from the longer transcript in the analysis (e.g., a combo, freq or kwal search)?
