You can add the +o3 switch, but then you need -t*CHI to exclude the child.

Specifically, I would like to find out how many instances of "too" a child gets exposed to in each session, regardless of who produces it (excluding the child himself/herself).

For example, I am interested in looking at the token frequency of the additive focus particle "too" (e.g., I ate an apple, too) but I don't want it to be intermixed with the "too" that functions as an adverbial (e.g., these shoes are too small for me). How could I differentiate between them?
