I think this is a good method for whole utterance exclusion. However, you also want to exclude strings within utterances and for clarity you should use a different method for that. The only problem there with your [@g] code is the actual syntax of the code. It should instead be [% g] and then you also need to add the second switch -s"<% g>”.</div><div><br></div><div>—Brian MacWhinney</div><div><br></div><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Oct 13, 2015, at 10:53 PM, Amanda Huensch <<a href="mailto:amandahuensch@gmail.com" target="_blank">amandahuensch@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal">Hi All-<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">We are
attempting to code some language in our transcripts such that it is ignored in
a freq count. We have narrative data which includes language that was prompted
by written text in the stories (e.g., “every morning was the same”) that we don’t
want to be included in some analyses. Sometimes the language is an entire
utterance and sometimes it is a partial utterance (examples below).<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The current
way we are coding this language to be ignored is by using angle brackets to
select the language to be ignored and adding [@g] at the end of the line. So,
for example:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">13 *400: <so

the case that we can/should continue to code this way, do you foresee
