<div>Dear Celia (and Alex),</div>
<div> Many corpora use the current system. However, I agree that it is cumbersome. If there is a big block of adult speech that you would like to exclude, then using GEM markers would certainly be a lot easier. It would be </div>
<div>@Bg:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>adult_talk</div>
<div>…..</div>
<div>@Eg:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>adult_talk</div>
<div>And then you use the GEM program to exclude these. Alternatively, you could focus on using inclusion.</div>
<div>Also, you can handle inclusion and exclusion through postcodes on individual utterances.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Chibolters,<br>
<br>
We would like to classify utterances as addressed to the key child, to other children, or to adults, to later analyze separately addressed, overheard, etc., within CLAN and outside (e.g. applying word segmentation algorithms). There is already a standardized
format for this mentioned in the manuals, but I wonder whether there are less costly alternatives (we are coding 2 continuous hours of each child).<br>
<br>
The chat manual (p. 79) describes:<br>
<br>
<div title="Page 79">
<div>
<div>
<p><i><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"TimesNewRomanPS";font-weight:700">Addressee Tier %add:
</span></i></p>
<i></i>
<p><i><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"TimesNewRomanPSMT"">This tier describes who talks to whom. Use the three-letter identifier given in the par- ticipants header to identify the addressees.
</span></i></p>
<i></i>
<p><i><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier";font-weight:700">*MOT: be quiet.
<br>
</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier";font-weight:700">%add: ALI, BEA
</span></i></p>
<i></i>
<p><i><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"TimesNewRomanPSMT"">In this example, Mother is telling Alice and Beatrice to “be quiet.”
</span></i></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<br>
<br>
And the CLAN manual (p. 128):<br>
<div title="Page 128">
<div>
<div>
<p><i><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Times";font-weight:700">9.21.1Including and Excluding in MLU and MLT
</span></i></p>
<i></i>
<p><i><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times"">Researchers often wish to conduct MLU analyses on particular subsets of their data.
</span></i></p>
<i></i>
<p><i><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times"">This can be done using commands such as:
</span></i></p>
<i></i>
<p><i><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier";font-weight:700">kwal +t*CHI +t%add +s"mot" sample.cha +d | mlu
</span></i></p>
<i></i>
<p><i><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times"">This command looks at only those utterances spoken by the child to the mother as ad- dressee. KWAL outputs these utterances through a pipe to the MLU program. The pipe symbol | is used to indicate this
transfer of data from one program to the next. If you want to send the output of the MLU analysis to a file, you can do this with the redirect symbol, as in this version of the command:
</span></i></p>
<i></i>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier";font-weight:700"><i>kwal +t*CHI +t%add +s"mot" sample.cha +d | mlu > file.mlu
</i><br>
</span></p>
<p><br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier";font-weight:700"></span></p>
<p><br>
Although this is useful, this requires having an %add line for every transcription line. When there are only two partners talking to each other, it would be easier to define them throughout (only marking deviations) rather than repeating the information. Does
anyone have any tips as to how this would be accomplished? For instance, could this be done combining a long scope event (gem-style) with local switches, as is done for example with languages (eng defined by default, switches marked with [- spa] or @s:spa)?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you in advance,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
