CHECK - Sampa - errors detected

[Brian Macwhinney]

Dear Typhanie,
    Perhaps you are using some old version of the manual.  I don’t see any reference in the current CHAT manual at https://talkbank.org/manuals/CHAT.pdf to the word SAMPA.  We stopped using SAMPA in about 1997, converting everything instead to IPA UniCode.  Perhaps you could tell me where the current manual is suggesting this form.
    My next suspicion is that you may be using an old version of CLAN.  About two years ago, we removed the requirement that words could not have capital letters inside.
    There is also a further discrepancy in the example you provide.  The goal of the [: text] replacement format is to provide a standard orthography representation, not to provide the phonology.  So, the format should have been kRap [: crab].
