Finding verb stems in bilingual transcripts

[Lulu]

Hi,

Following up on my previous post - I'm able to find all the verb stems now but would like to separate the results into English and Spanish words, as my transcripts are bilingual. I have 3 sets of files: English only transcripts, English dominant transcripts with [- spa] lines (which may contain @s for English words occurring in Spanish lines), and Spanish dominant transcripts with [- eng] lines (also with @s words). Is there any way to generate a list of all English verb stems and a list of all Spanish verb stems from these transcripts?

Thanks in advance!

Lulu

Dear Lulu,

     You can get results for English by excluding lines marked with [- spa] using -s”[- spa]” and you can get Spanish by using +s”[- spa], but words marked at second language only by having the @s symbol on them will not be automatically excluded.  You would have to take a look at the output in each case to see which additional words are marked as @s.

   The general point is that maximizing use of the [- spa] method for coding gives the best results.
