deviant stress and syllable tone

[Bjoern Wiemer]

Dear info-childers,

has anybody had experience with marking deviant word stress and/or syllabic
tones deviating from some (literary or regional) norm? As far as I see, the
CHILDES manuals don't give any instructions or hints at how to mark these
things in the text tiers. It is, however, important, under some
circumstances, for languages with movable word stress.
        I have tried to mark the stress as it was uttered on the tape by the
normal signs (/, // etc.) and then to add [:str __] with the blank __ filled
by the correct stress pattern. But, of course, this would require adding
something to the depfile. Even if [:str ] will be added, CHECK says that it
is not allowed.
        So what else can one do to save this kind of information?

Best,
        Bjoern Wiemer.
