Re: Phon question: limiting to a certain number of utterances

[Brian Macwhinney]

Brie,

Yes, many of the CLAN programs allow for inclusion of the +z switch which allows you to delimit the range of the utterances you wish to include.

Is there an automatic way to segment the Phon transcripts into the first 200 utterances? She's been manually doing it but we're sure there's an automatic way that we haven't identified yet!

Thanks Brian! If she wants to create a new "set" of files with just the first 200 utterances - is there a way to do that? I know "trim" but that's just for tiers -- wasn't sure if there was something like a "cut" function similar to what +z does. I'll look into this with her!

Try command:

kwal +o@ +o% +z200u +d +f  filename.cha

It will create output CHAT file "filename.kwal.cex" with 200 utterances.

Thank you!

Dear Brie,

Yes, we have an interface for this. The most central information is here:

Please send me a direct message if you need more assistance.

Kind regards,

Yvan

Brie,

Yes, if she is starting with a *.cha file, she can use the +z +d and +f in KWAL. Check section 14.13 in the CLAN manual for details on +z.
