Thank you, Brian. I'm guessing the first option would then prevent flucalc from identifying the disfluencies since the coding is replaced. Please advise if there is a way around it. If we go with converting all samples to pinyin entirely, using the segmenter/translater command that runs in the terminal, is there any way we can at the same time convert the characters from the main tier to the %ort tier? <div>Peitzu<br><div><br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">On Saturday, October 23, 2021 at 9:14:10 AM UTC-7 macw wrote:<br/></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Dear Peitzu,
<br> There are two ways to do this. If you just want to do this occasionally for one or two words, you can use the form
<br>↫g↫gou3 [: 狗]
<br>then MOR will ignore the ↫g↫gou3 and only make use of 狗.
<br> Alternatively, if you want to study phonology systematically, you can create a complete %pho tier.
<br> Your example also makes the important point that the systematic coding of disfluencies faces some challenges in Chinese and other languages with whole-character coding. I see that you are using disfluency coding for the repetition of the initial consonant. If you wanted to study this extensively, it might almost be best to create a secondary %ort line that would be the basis of a complete Pinyin transcription.

<br>> Hi,
<br>> Is there any recommended way of coding Mandarin transcripts in Chinese characters at the sound level, while still running Mor successfully? For example, initial sound repetition in 狗 (↫g↫gou3) 看 到 了. We tried replacing the character with pinyin but Mor doesn't recognize it.
<br>> Thanks,
