Excluding stories and songs from corpus

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Simge,

Yes, you would have to do this semi-manually.  You could rely on the system of GEM markers, as described in the manual.  If you decide to do this, it would be possibly a good idea to actually add your gem markers to the version in the database.

For the purposes of this study, I am interested in analyzing only the utterances that are produced by the speakers during their natural conversational exchanges, but the corpus also includes many stretches of talk that consist of the stories that parents read to the children, or songs and nursery rhymes they sing, etc. Is there a practical way to weed out these parts from the corpus or do I have to face the gargantuan task of eliminating them manually?
