transcription query

[Sharon Unsworth]

Dear all,

In my transcription of an L2 picture description task I would like to do
the following, but I'm not sure whether this is possible with CLAN/CHAT:

Subject:	there's a dog and a boy and the boy is +...
[The subject doesn't know the word in his L2 English so the experimenter
tells her.]
Experimenter: crying.
Subject:	crying.

What I want to do is transcribe this in such a way as to show that the
subject's second utterance follows on from her first so that the two
utterances will be counted as one utterance for the purposes of MLU.  I
started using the overlap signs, [<] and [>], but this isn't an overlap
(they're not talking at the same time);  I could use the other-completion
sign ++ for the experimenter's utterance but that doesn't really solve the
problem.

Is there a way of doing this that I can't find in the manual!?

Thanks in advance,
Sharon Unsworth
