<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Dear Brie,<div class=""> Over a year ago, in order to better support fluency coding, we introduced a distinction between the use of the ampersand to mark non-words and its use to mark filler words. For filler words, we added the hyphen mark as in &-uh and &-um. It is clear that &-uh is always a filler. However, the sound "oh" is often what we would call a "co" or communicator, as in "Oh, I didn't realize that." If it is a real word communicator, then it is just oh. If it is a filler, which is rather rare, then it is &-oh. We still use the basic & mark as in &gok for things that are just non-words. And there are a two more uses of the ampersand, including &=text as in &=laughs for laughing and &* for interposed words (section 9.10.2 of the manual).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-- Brian MacWhinney</div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 24, 2020, at 11:21 AM, brielle.stark <<a href="mailto:brielle.stark@gmail.com" class="">brielle.stark@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Hello!<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We encounter a ton of "uh oh" in our transcripts.... is it most correct to code these as:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">&uh &oh</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">vs. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">uhoh@i</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">thank you!</div></div><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
