Quote marks affecting language tagging

[Cathy Lonngren]

Hi, 

I am testing my bilingual CHAT files to check whether I have coded the material accurately. I'm doing this by running freq commands like the following: 

freq @ +t*MOT +l -s"*@s" +u +o  (this would give me a list of all the English words used and would highlight any Portuguese words that I have failed to code appropriately (as they shouldn't be there!). However, it appears that something is going wrong when words are enclosed in quote marks. For example in the following excerpt, both of MOT's quoted "cinco@s" end up being tagged as English (cinco@s@s:eng). When I tried adding a space between the @s and the " (see *JAM: "cinco@s ") then it seemed to work (i.e. it no longer featured on the 'English' word list for JAM). So, is this what I should do in all such examples? As quoted material in Portuguese occurs quite a lot in the corpus I wanted to check whether this was the best method.  

 

*JAM: [- por] é dez.
%add: MOT
*MOT: no, I said “cinco@s”. [+ ep]
%add: JAM
*JAM: “cinco@s ”?
%add: MOT
*MOT: yeah, how do you say “cinco@s” in English? [+ epe]
%add: JAM
*JAM: [- por] inglês é?
%add: MOT
*MOT: uhuh.
%add: JAM
*MOT: count o(lha)@s +...
%add: JAM
*JAM: cinco@s she's[?][*] “five[/] five”. [+ pe]

Many thanks, 

Cathy

Dear Cathy,

    I created a full CHAT file to replicate this and to make sure that the file passed CHECK, which it does.  And I replicated the problem.  I will check with Leonid about this.

Also, could you please do me and other readers a favor and add you last name to your email.  

Best,

—Brian Macwhinney
