Beginning and ending quotes in the %mor tier

[Daisuke Miyamoto]

Hello everyone,

It's nice to meet you! I am a Japanese linguist working on creating CHAT 
files for children's second language acquisition.

I would like to ask you about how beginning and ending quotes are treated 
in the %mor tier. In p.11 of the MOR manual 
(https://doi.org/10.21415/T5B97X), it is said that the file punct.cut 
contains the following entries as punctuation marks. 

*„ * {[scat end]} "end" 
*‡*  {[scat beg]} "beg" 
*, * {[scat cm]} "cm" 
*“ * {[scat bq]} "bq" 
*” * {[scat eq]} "eq" 
*‘ *{[scat bq]} “bq2” 
*’* {[scat eq]} “eq2” 

But actually, punct.cut in my MOR folder (downloaded on 12th, August, 2021) 
contains only the first three punctuations (end, beg, cm), and neither 
beginning quotes nor ending quotes are included in it.

As a result, the following two main lines are indistinguishable in the %mor 
tier:

*CHI: he said you are lucky „ didn't he ?
%mor: pro:sub|he v|say&PAST pro:per|you cop|be&PRES adj|luck&dn-Y end|end
mod|do&PAST~neg|not pro:sub|he ?

*CHI: he said “ you are lucky ” „ didn't he ?
%mor: pro:sub|he v|say&PAST pro:per|you cop|be&PRES adj|luck&dn-Y end|end
mod|do&PAST~neg|not pro:sub|he ?

Is this as expected? 

Best,
Daisuke Miyamoto
