I'd like to know the number of different verbs used by the child in each transcript (which already have %mor lines). I know how to get the number of verbs, but not the number of different verbs. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
Sophie

Dear Sophie,
    You could use FREQ, as described in sectioin 7.10 of the CLAN manual.

freq +t%mor -t* +s"v\|*" *.cha +1

I suppose you want these separately.  If not, then you use +u.  The token summary is at the end.
