Repetitions in child production

[Diane Lillo-Martin]

Dear all,
I would be very interested in knowing how you treat self-repetitions for
various types of analyses, especially MLU.

In particular, I'm thinking of both single word and phrase repetitions,
such as a sequence of repeating the word 'ball' while playing with the
ball; or repetitions of phrases such as 'want cookie', either immediate or
with some intervening talk.

I know that immediate repetitions are generally not counted according to
the criteria established by Brown. I believe that they would be included in
the CLAN calculation of MLU unless they are specifically tagged and the
command is set to exclude them.

If you work with MLU or other measures for which it is relevant, how do you
treat such repetitions?

Many thanks in advance,
Diane
