Hi Emily,

	To exclude a list from analyses use -s option. The +s option means that you want to see only utterances that have specified words. 
The -s at exclude.child.cut will exclude all utterances that have at least one of the exclude.child.cut words.

I am able to get a list of these utterances using KWAL (kwal +t*CHI +s at exclude.child.cut +b +d +o%adu +fexclude.non), but I am not able to figure out a way to code the utterance so that I can conduct additional analyses with and without these utterances included.
