How to use RELY on CLAN

RELY Function 4:

“The fourth function of the RELY command is to estimate the overall match between two transcripts on the main line. It is very difficult to define this type of comparison precisely. Instead, RELY uses a rough-and-ready "bag of words" comparison method that simply looks at the overall match of the main line items in the two versions. The command for this type of analysis adds the +d switch, and the output is the percentage of overall overlap.” (This is directly sourced from the CLAN manual: https://talkbank.org/manuals/CLAN.pdf)

This function provides two output calculations:

• % of all utterances with matching codes

• % % of all words examined with matching codes

How to run this function:

Step 1:

• Prepare Files: Make sure you have two coded files for comparison (e.g., two raters coding the same language sample) in the CLAN-compatible .cha format. Since the files should have the same title, it is helpful to modify each file name to differentiate between the two.

Step 2:

• Type in the following code into the command window: rely +d sample.cha samplea.cha

• Select “file in” and add the two coded files you wish to process. Make sure that the CLAN more library is linked on BOX. Here are the instructions to complete this step.

  

• Once you’ve done so, select “done”.

Step 3:

• After running, RELY provides a report showing percent agreement across your chosen categories. This breakdown helps identify areas where raters agree most and where further clarification might be needed.

• Here is an example of what the reliability report looks like:
