eval for parts of speech

[brielle.stark]

Hi there!

Is there any way for EVAL to calculate morphology (e.g., plurals, third person) as a proportion of their respective part of speech? For example, plurals are always nouns, so calculating them as a proportion of nouns; third person singular, etc, are verbs (or aux), so calculating them as such? Or is it up to us to get a raw number and then divide manually? Thanks! Wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Dear Brie,

    You could do this by taking the EVAL sheet into R or Excel, and then dividing the morpheme % by the part of speech %.  Both are percentages of total words, so that would cancel out.
