4.2.29. Exporting an alphabetical list of words

Sometimes it can be very useful to have a alphabetical list of (unique) words from one or more tiers. ELAN offers a way to generate such lists. Go to File > Export as > List of Words ... and select the tiers (if Tiers by Name is selected) or tier types (if Tiers by Type is selected) from which you want to extract the words. The annotations of the selected tiers will be tokenized (split into words) using either a default set of delimiters or a user definable set. Check Count occurrences if you want the list to include the number of occurrences for each token. After selecting tiers (or better, deselecting unwanted tiers) you can click OK and choose a filename. Clicking Save will save the word list.
