MLU for languages with complex morphology

[Alcock, Katie]

I know it's generally recommended to count MLU in words for languages with complex morphology but I am drawing a blank on the reasons for this, arguments for and against, and sources for this recommendation. So, as I'm lazy, I thought I'd ask info-childes to apply their multiple brains to this questions, rather than just my one brain.

Thanks all

Katie Alcock
