Coding unintelligible language

[Elnaz Kia]

Hi everyone,

I have a question about coding unintelligible language with xxx. Here is my
understanding based on the 2020 CHAT instruction manual (MacWhinney, 2020):

- If a complete utterance is fully unintelligible, I should mark the
utterance with xxx.
- If I am able to tell the number of words that are unintelligible, then I
should use that many strings of xxx. For instance, if the utterance is “I
am a teacher” and I can only get the “I am” part, but I hear 2 other words
that are unintelligible, then I should code the sentence like this:
“I am xxx xxx.”
- I can use as many xxx strings as I want for the number of words that are
unintelligible.

Would you confirm my understandings?

Thank you,
Elnaz
