What research tools are built into the software?
Rectangular Data File
Export data from SALT in a format that can be read by other programs such as SPSS®, SAS®, Excel® and Access®. Select from all of the SALT analysis variables as well as from the frequency of any word, morpheme or code. Any number of transcripts may be included. The variables you select are calculated for each transcript independently. The results are displayed as a rectangular data file with one row of data for each transcript. This data may be printed or saved as a fixed-width, comma-delimited or tab-delimited text file which can then be imported into most spreadsheet, graphic, database and statistic programs.
Expanded Explore Options
Use the Explore menu in SALT to search for utterances or words that are of special interest to you. Look for specific words or codes, or analyze all the utterances that contain features such as omissions or pauses. Although all versions of SALT allow you to view and print the utterances and words you select, the Research version also allows you to code them automatically or save them as a separate transcript for further analysis. The Research version also includes an option for viewing, counting or coding selected words and utterances across a set of transcripts.
Generate Word Lists, Bound Morpheme Lists and Code Lists
Generate an alphabetical list of all the words, bound morphemes or codes used across a set of transcripts. Each item is listed with number and percent of transcripts containing it and the total number of occurrances. Use this tool to study an individual's total vocabulary or to study the vocabulary used by a group of subjects during a specific sampling context. Sumarize codes across transcripts and look for misspelled or unusual codes.
Check for Errors
Generate a list of all the transcript-entry errors and warnings found in a set of transcripts. This option is useful for cleaning up a batch of transcripts prior to analysis.
Build Your Own Reference Databases
Use the "Build Profile Database" tool to build your own reference databases from language samples you have collected. Your databases can then be used for comparison instead of, or in addition to, the SALT reference databases.
