Prompting

[Brian MacWhinney]

Tim,
     The code ++ for "other completion" could be placed at the beginning of the child's response to represent this.  It is in section 7.10 of the CHAT Manual.  Of course, there are various types of other completion and this is just one.  If you want to be more explicit, you could just invent some new postcode (see section 8.6) such as [+ prompt]

For example, the mother would say something like "that thing that is big and yellow and you ride to school is called a +..." (looking for the response 'bus').  I've been marking them using the trailing off code, but I don't think that that quite captures everything I want it to, since it is really more than just regular trailing off, the mothers are really prompting the child to say something.  I've looked in the manual for a more appropriate code but I haven't been able to find one, is there a code that is designed for a situation like I described?
