I think you are also asking about how to contrast the case when the adult is "voicing" a character from those in which the adult is reading directly. I'm not sure how clear this distinction always is. Sometimes the adult will change voice and act out something like "talking like the dragon". In any case, the basic principle here is that you can create as many postcodes as you need to make as many distinctions as you consider important. It is always easierto merge the numbers for postcodes, rather than trying to make distinctions later on.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-- Brian MacWhinney<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 13, 2020, at 12:15 PM, Lulu <<a href="mailto:lulusong@gmail.com" class="">lulusong@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Hi! We have a question about transcribing bookreading activities. I'd like to have a way to notate whenever the adult is reading the text from the book rather than talking spontaneously. I read in the manual that quotation marks (i.e., +"/. and +".) can be used to denote when a character in the book is speaking (p. 67). But how should we mark when the adult is reading the narration text in the book? Thanks so much!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hope everyone stays safe!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class="">Lulu<br class=""></div></div><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
