Like Alya Morgenstern, I would also welcome an update on phonetic trnascription
<b>within CHAT</b> (associated with practice and availability of required
fonts/applications).
<br>I agree with Ann that fine phonetic transcription is necessary for
the emergence of morphology and, for that matter - emergence - , at all
levels of language analysis.
<br>However, I think that it is important to remind ourselves that this
is a necessary but not sufficient step to take, as time consuming transcriptions
may sometimes not make surface, or may be mistreated , at the analysis
level .
