<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Andrew<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thank you very much for your reply. I’m not sure if “blanks” means “space characters” or “empty attributes”, so I tried to remove space characters and fill in dummy values if there is an empty attribute. So now there
are neither space characters nor empty attributes, however, the problem persists. By the way, I can’t change the data type to classification under “Manage text metadata”, all handles are automatically set to free text and are not changeable. It doesn’t matter
which boxes I check, I get the same error.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Funnily enough, the corpus works in CWB – at least more or less, searching by lemma does not.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
