parse_clan2

This script parses .cha files and produces a csv file as output. The output will have this form:

tier	word	utterance_type	object_present	speaker	timestamp	basic_level	comment
*MAN	car+seat	d	n	FAT	4989390_4990400		NA

usage

$: python parse_clan2.py

This will open up a GUI window asking to select the .cha file you want to parse. Its output will be in the same folder as the file being parsed.

parse_clan2_check usage

This script checks to make sure the file was parsed completely, without leaving anything out. It takes the frequency output from Clan as its first argument (clan command: freq +o3 +o clan_file.cha). The output from that command should be pasted into a .txt file.

$: python parse_clan2_check.py clan_freq_output.txt parse_clan2_output.csv

batch_parse_clan2 usage

There's also a helper script that runs parse_clan2 over a whole folder of .cha files. It's called batch_parse_clan2.py.

$: python batch_parse_clan2.py /folder/with/cha/files  /output/folder
