How to tag mor for mispronounced or misspelled words

[Lulu]

Hi!

Since the MOR program cannot recognize mispronounced or misspelled words, can I manually tag mor information to these words in the original transcript BEFORE running MOR? That is, I'd like to preserve the mispronounced form but also give the part-of-speech info to the MOR program so that I get a %mor line without question marks.

Thank you very much!

Dear Lulu,

     You can do this using the replacement function.  For example, if the child says "popper" instead of "helicopter", you can transcribe this as

*CHI: popter [: helicopter].

By default, MOR will use the word in the brackets, rather than the material preceding the brackets.  In many cases, you can achieve the same effect with parentheses.  If the child says "nan" for "banana", then you can just transcribe as (ba)nana.
