Hello.
I ran Kideval on the sample of the child L2 English data, and came across some problems.
1) I got the excel spreadsheet of Kideval results, which look very helpful. However, I want to know more about the nature (the formula) of calculating the following indexes,
verb/utterances: does it mean verb tokens or verb types divided by the number of utterances?
TTR: what is the formulae of measuring the type/token rate in the spreadsheet result of Kideval?
utterance errors: In my transcription of the data, I postcode erroneous utterances with [+ gram], but I'm not sure whether the Kideval knew that. How does Kideval calculate "utterance errors"?
2) After running Kideval, I've got a warning message, shown as below:
WARNING: FOUND 2 %mor: TIERS THAT DO NOT LINK IN SIZE TO THEIR SPEAKER TIERS.
THIS WILL EFFECT THE RESULT OF IPSyn ANALYSES.
What does it mean by "do not link in size to their speaker tiers" ? and how can I fix it?
Thank you very much.
