[Javier]

Sharon,

You could use suffixes of the type:
word at code

For instance:

Subject:	ther's a dog and a boy and the boy is crying at cont .
Experimenter:	crying at real .
Subject:	crying at false .

Afterwards, you have to exclude that suffix with the -s option:
e.g.:
MLU -s"*@cont" *.cha
would not consider "crying at cont"

Use the "word at real" or "word at false" suffixes if you want to do
something else with continuations, but they are not required for your
MLU purposes.

Perhaps you also want to mark the actual place where the sentence was
finished by the speaker.
You can add something like 00MARK .
These codes will not be included in the MLU, but you could select and
pool out these utterances with a "kwal" or "combo" command.

e.g.:
Subject:	ther's a dog and a boy and the boy is 00MARK crying at cont .


Hope this helps,
