tallying codes with FREQ

[Jamie Smith]

Hello, I am looking at dialect density in speakers of AAE and I would like to use CLAN to tell me how many instances of each dialect feature there are in a transcript. 

I had thought that if I put a list of the codes in a .cut file, I could use FREQ to count them, like this: 

>  freq +...@codes.cut sample.cha  

What I am getting instead is a tally of the words in each utterance that contains one of the codes. 

Thank you for any guidance you might be able to offer.

Hi Jamie,

I assume that your codes are something like this "word@code". If that is the case then in your codes.cut file or in just +s option you can search for "%@code". This will count only "@code" part without the actual words.

For example:

 freq +s%@code sample.cha

Leonid.
