Mor with replacements

[Leonid Spektor]

Stephen,

	There are two different kinds of replacements in CHAT. You can read about them in CHAT manual that you can get from URL:

http://childes.psy.cmu.edu/manuals/chat.pdf

	Look at paragraphs "Replacement [: text]" and "Replacement of Real Word [:: text]" on pages 70 and 71. You would code your example this way:

gonna [: going to] [*]
flag [:: kite] [*]

MOR and other CLAN commands will not replace spoken word like "flag" if it's replacement is indicated by [:: ...] code. If for some reason you would want replacements indicated by [:: ...] code to be performed, then you would add the "+r50" option to command line. You can see those options if you type, for example, command "freq" in CLAN's Commands window and press return.

Leonid.

I can see how with a form like "gonna", it makes sense to expand it as "[: going to]" so that its morphosyntax can be analyzed accordingly. But the [: replacement] notation is also used for what seems like a fundamentally different purpose, i.e. denoting intended forms when errors are made. Lots of examples are given in the "Error Coding" chapter of the CHAT manual.

For instance, if a patient said "flag" instead of "kite", I would not want mor (or my subsequent analysis) to proceed as if they had said "kite", which is a low-frequency word that they probably can't produce.
