Keymap on several files

[Elisabeth Rognerud]

I´m doing a keymap analysis on children´s answers to different types of adult questions, and I wonder if it is any way to look at the frequency of types of answers to the different questions for the whole group? I have only gotten output on each individual child, although in the same document. I have a rather large sample, so I really don´t want to go through it pr ID....

Hi Elisabeth,

The answer depends on what do you consider a group and how your transcripts are organized. For example, if in all your transcripts you have *CHI code for target child and may be *MOT for mother, then you can add +u option to KEYMAP and run it only on transcripts that you consider to be on one particular group.

Ok, but I want the program to sum up the analysis for the group. So that the type of question (for instance an open descriptive question) and the answers given by the children (for instance adequate and inadequate answers) could be summed up over all my ID’s. I want to know how ALL the children combined answered each type of question. Does the +b do that?

My output so far says something about each individual dayad of child and adult, like this:

Instance of ped “open:desc” found 7 times,

Followed by chi 7 times, “res:unad” 3 times and “res:ad” 4 times

Can I sum them up in any way?

Hi Elisabeth,

Your question seems to be very specific to your data. Please email to me directly at spe...@andrew.cmu.edu.

First what do you call a "group"? Is it a group of children within one transcript file? Or do you have one child transcribed per file and a group is some collection of transcript files?

Second what do call "sum up"? Are you talking about combined listing of all answers from all children from multiple transcripts? Or are you talking about combined numerical result of all answers? In your previous email this number would be "7 instances followed by speaker "*CHI", of these". You can also use +b* option if you want to get a listing of all question codes with corresponding children answers on one output. This assumes that you have transcribed one child per one transcript file.

The KEYMAP will not work without you specifying some type of question code with +b option. The +u option will created a combined listing of all answers from all children in a selected group of transcript files that you run KEYMAP on. This assumes that you coded all children and adults across all transcript files with the same code *CHI for all children and the same code, like *ADU, for all adults.

It would be very helpful for me to see an example of your transcript files. Could you please email to me directly any two of your transcript files and may be also the output from "CLAN Output" window that you are getting when you run your KEYMAP command on those two files?

Leonid.
