Stems in FREQ

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Annabelle,
For you problem with stems in FREQ, there are a couple of issues.
First, the current version of CLAN does not have the problem you
mention with n|pino-DIM-MASC=pine. So, please make sure you are using
a current version of CLAN. If you are using the latest and there is
still a problem, we will need to know what system you are using and we
will need a sample file to replicate the problem, since we cannot
replicate yet here.
Second, for the issue with your searches for clitics, I am not
sure why this is a problem. If we change OBJ to things like "me" and
"te" is that what you want. But then you will not know that they are
being used as clitics. This is a rather general problem, not just for
you, but for everyone dealing with Romance languages. So, the problem
here is figuring out what people really want. Fixing the entry in the
0affixes.cut file in MOR takes a second once it is clear what is
needed. My worry is that some people will want one thing and others
another. In that case, it may be indeed that people will have to make
replacements for their particular purposes.
