[CWB] problems with lemma query and corpus word count

[Benedikt Singpiel]

Hello Andrew,

thanks again for your quick help.

1. My lemma problem is solved, just as you gathered it was due to  
wrong linebreak settings.


2. The problem of the word count error remains: I did the 'any word'  
search you suggested and it returned half a mollion tokens. That  
should be about right, indexing was successful. I then recreated all  
the frequency/wordcount lists in the 'manage frequency lists' section  
- no changes in the output. Any further suggestions on the issue?


best


Benedikt
