Hi -
Are there any commands that can help me count the number of sentence types - simple/complex and count different types of complex sentences? I see commands to calculate ratios of one two verb utterances and IPSYN, but I am looking for something that is more specific to syntactic diversity and clausal diversity and that counts the number of complex versus simple sentences.
Thank you,
Cynthia Core

Dear Cynthia,
There is a short, medium, and a long answer to this. The short answer is “no”, but that answer is quite misleading. The medium answer is that the grammatical relations of Spanish, particularly on the interclausal level, are nearly the same as those for English. Therefore, the routine for complexity computation presented in the CLAN manual should work nearly correctly for Spanish. The longer answer is that I could spend time working on this, but not for several weeks. Actually, that is not a long answer. Rather, it is a short answer that points to a long timeframe.
Best,

Is there a procedure for freq of complex syntax for Spanish? I'm looking for the equivalent of the MEGRASP/freq procedure to count clausal types in Spanish using the %gra tier.
Thanks,

Dear Cynthia,
Apologies for the delay in responding to your second message. I double-checked and you are right that the training set for MEGRASP in Spanish only has CMOD and COMP structures. Because the others are not in the training set, they are not going to appear in the output. This raises three questions.
1. Are relevant structures miscoded in the training set? This is certainly possible and it would be great if you could take a look to see if some obvious one are missing.
2. Is the training set just too small and not sufficiently advanced? This is also possible. After all, these are structures from young children. For English, our primary training set is from the personal narratives and story descriptions provided by normal adults doing some of the AphasiaBank tasks. We have found that use of adult language is better as a training set, even if the target samples to be analyzed are from children.
3. Does Spanish just not include some of these relations? This is possible. However, this could be a result of treating things like “lo que” as CMOD when they are actually functioning as COBJ, for example.
