Task 28. Using the Wordform Analysis shortcut
Learning objective
You will learn to bypass the Wordform Inventory Editor. The advantage is that it saves time because it does not open and close so many windows. The disadvantage is that you might not see the Concordance of a Wordform to help make your analytical decisions, and you can assign only one Occurrence at a time.
Preparation
Open the Interlinear Text English sentence fragments, and go to segment ¶1s4.
