unintelligible words/custom symbols/PCC

[Yvan Rose]

Hello Amy,
Welcome to the PhonBank community, and thank you for your questions. I interleave my replies below: 

> 1- What is the best way to hand an unintelligible word or part of a word. (we would not want this to be counted as an error)?

There are two main ways:

A) Mark the record as 'excluded'. This will void the record by default for all analyses.
B) In the context of a part-word you may want to keep for analysis, change the target to the relevant part of what the word should be.

> 2- Is there a way to add your own custom symbols?

Not really, as we need valid transcriptions to be able to generate analyses. (On this note, if you see a flag to the right of a transcription tier, there is something that needs fixing with this transcription.)

But you can probably adapt some of the symbols we already support to encode your observations. In this regard, I would need a sense of that the use cases might be. Please follow up about this.

> 3- When running reports such as PCC, is there a way to have voiced/unvoiced cognates not be counted as an error in final position? (e.g., /glæsɪs/ have the final s for z not be counted as incorrect?)

What I see is we would need options to ignore sound components such as 'place', 'manner', and 'voicing' (the latter your use case). Unfortunately we don't have this at the moment, but we're taking good note of the idea! 

In the meantime, you can add the 'distorted' diacritic to these phones -- this will mark them as 'correct' by default for analytic purposes.

I hope you find this all useful!!


Kind regards,
Yvan
