Marking addressee and excluding from MLU counts

[Rowland, Caroline]

Hi all,

We want to both transcribe utterances addressed to siblings of the target child but also to sometimes exclude them from MLU counts.  This is because sometimes we will want a measure of how much CDS a particular adult is using (no matter the addressee) and sometimes we will want a measure of how much CDS is addressed to a particular target_child.

Normally we would mark utterances addressed to a non-target child (e.g. a sibling) using a dependent tier; e.g.

*MOT: what do you want?
%add:   SIB

If we transcribe like this, is there then an easy way to then exclude these utterances from an MLU count; or indeed from any other CLAN command?

Or do we need to use a different notation?

Thanks

Caro
