But when I run the MLT operation, I've found that that the null utterances are being counted as utterances, but not as turns. I cannot figure out what switches to use to make CLAN count the null utterances as turns. I tried to add the [+ trn] postcode after the 0 in the main line, and then to add the switch +s"[+ trn]", but this did not work (it made CLAN look at <u>only</u> null utterances, but still not counting them as turns). </font></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Would anyone be able to assist? I would really appreciate the help! Thanks in advance!</div></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
