<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Hi all,</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am new to CHAT and CLAN. I have been looking through a lot
of the work already in the CHILDES system, and I can’t find consistent
error or omission coding in any child language transcripts. In the
manual, of course, I see that there are several ways to code these. In
general, it is very important to our data that cases of missing parts of speech
and missing morphological inflections are easy to retrieve and analyze. Do
I need to use error codes for every occurrence that I want to be counted, or
are there CLAN analysis programs that recognize missing parts of speech, or just
plain ungrammatical constructions, like a missing plural, or bad agreement?</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have tried using a 0word or 0part_of_speech on the main
line, but the MOR program ignores it.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>For example, </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>*CHI: I 0aux drawing . </span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>%mor: pro|I v|draw-PROG .</span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I would like to see something like this come up:</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>%mor: pro|I 0aux|be&1s v|draw-PROG .</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Should I manually do this for every line? Will it violate
the on-to-one mapping of morphological coding? Does this just not need to
be done, because there are programs that recognize it without the 0aux? </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Also, when an utterance reads:</span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>*CHI: me do it.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Will a program recognize the error and track it, or do I
have to manually code this error?</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
