CHIP morphological additions

Hi there,

I am using CHIP to track instances of caregiver imitations ($EXACT and 
$REDUC) and caregiver expansions ($EXPAN).

I am using the following command line:
chip +bMOT +cCHI -ns -nc +g -hexclude.cut +q3 +f +d +t%mor +t%cod +t@ @

I found some inconsistencies with how CHIP is placing these utterance-level 
codes when the utterance has morphological additions. I've included 
examples from the attached transcript. Note that I entered a cut file that 
excludes conversational devices, which is why CHIP is ignoring "yeah" in 
the examples. 

 In some cases, CHIP is adding the utterance level code before coding the 
morphological addition:

*CHI:     bubble .

%mor:   n|bubble .

%chi:     $NO_REP $REP = 0.00

*MOT:   yeah , bubbles .

%mor:   co|yeah cm|cm v|bubble-3S .

%adu:   $FRO $EXA:bubble $EXACT $MADD:-3S $DIST = 1 $REP = 1.00

 

However, other times, it is not including the utterance level code despite 
being coded exactly the same as the exchange above ($FRO $EXA: $MADD:)

*CHI:     toy .

%mor:   n|toy .

%chi:     $NO_REP $REP = 0.00

*MOT:   toys , yeah .

%mor:   n|toy-PL cm|cm co|yeah .

%adu:   $FRO $EXA:toy    $MADD:-PL $DIST = 1 $REP = 1.00


*CHI:     bye bubble .

%mor:   co|bye n|bubble .

%chi:     $NO_REP $REP = 0.00

*MOT:   bye bubbles .

%mor:   co|bye v|bubble-3S .

%adu:   $FRO $EXA:bye-bubble    $MADD:-3S $DIST = 1 $REP = 1.00


*CHI:     bubble .

%mor:   n|bubble .

%chi:     $NO_REP $REP = 0.00

*MOT:   [^ oh] bubbles .

%mor:   n|bubble-PL .

%adu:   $FRO $EXA:bubble    $MADD:-PL $DIST = 1 $REP = 1.00

*MOT:   I thought you said byebye bubbles .

%mor:   pro:sub|I v|think&PAST pro:per|you v|say&PAST co|byebye v|bubble-3S

%adu:   $EXA:bubble $FRO $ADD:I-think-you-say-byebye $EXPAN $MADD:-3S $DIST

                = 2 $REP = 0.17

Can you help me understand why these are being treated differently by the 
CHIP program and if there is anything I can do with the transcripts/command 
line to ensure consistency?

Thank you!
