Thematic unit and code-switch codes

[Ran Li]

Dear Brian,

Thank you very much for your quick reply! Below is a sample that includes
the codes. The FREQ command I'm using is: *freq +s"*e:*" +t*par +d2  @*
For the output, there is no column listed for TUs with phonological errors
(i.e., dirl at e:tu for *girl*, ndog at e:tu for *dog*).

@Begin
@Languages: eng, zho
@Participants: INV Investigator, PAR Participant
@ID: eng, zho|NounTxPost_cat|INV||female|||Investigator|||
@ID: eng, zho|NounTxPost_cat|PAR||female|||Participant|||

*PAR: irl [: girl] [* p] [//] boy [* s] &-um <no> [e] . [+ gra] [+ g3]
*INV: okay that's okay .
*PAR: XXX +/. [+ gcu]
*INV: &-hmm ?
*PAR: cat at e:tu . [+ g4]
*INV: okay .
*PAR: dirl at e:tu [: girl] [* p] . [+ g4]
*INV: yeah .
*PAR: &-mm ao at s [* p] [//] &-mm hat [: cat] [* p] . [+ g4]
*INV: &-mhm .
*PAR: gou at s [//] &-um &-um ndog at e:tu [: dog] [* p] . [+ g2]
@End

Thank you,
Ran
