Minimal Pairs: running the program

  Previous topic Next topic JavaScript is required for the print function  
Press "Compute".

You should then see your source text, with a few lines visible. Some of the rows and columns may be greyed and others white: move the column and row numbers till the real data are white and any headings or line-numbers are greyed out.

 

minimal_pairs_sample

Here the first three lines are greyed out, and that can be fixed by changing Rows from 4 to 1.

 

Once you press OK the program starts:

 

  minimal_pairs_working

If you want to stop in the middle, press "Stop".

 

The status bar at the bottom of the screen shows how many words have been found in the word-list (here nearly 12,000), and the time elapsed.

 

You can press "Results" to see your results file, when you have finished.
