Utterance-level information

[Bridget Rennard]

Hi,

Thank you for the response! To clarify, I'm looking at MLU and/or number of 
morphemes per line for the two speakers (Mom and child) that are in the 
transcriptions I'm working with. The conversational turn option with the -u 
switch gave me some interesting information, but I am hoping to get more 
specific information for each line apart from conversational turn. For 
example, something like this:

*MOM:     what is that ? (3 morphemes)
*CHI:         ball . (1 morpheme)

Does that make sense? Based on the codes you described I'm not sure if any 
of them would give this type of information.

Thank you,
Bridget
