Adding exclude code question

[Emily Harrington]

Hi There,

I am trying to find the best way to add an exclusion code to utterances that are made up entirely of high frequency function words or conversational devices (cut file attached). I am able to get a list of these utterances using KWAL (kwal +t*CHI +...@exclude.child.cut +b +d +o%adu +fexclude.non), but I am not able to figure out a way to code the utterance so that I can conduct additional analyses with and without these utterances included.

Thank you,

Emily Harrington

Hi Emily,

To exclude a list from analyses use -s option. The +s option means that you want to see only utterances that have specified words. 

The -s@exclude.child.cut will exclude all utterances that have at least one of the exclude.child.cut words.

Leonid.

Hi Leonid,

Thanks for the response. Is there a way to exclude utterances only if they are exclusively made up of the words in the list? 

For instance, "that's" and "it" are on the list. I don't want to exclude every utterance that contains these words (e.g., "That's a cow" and "Put the cup on it" should be included). I only want to exclude utterances that are exclusively made up of these words (e.g., "That's it."). 

Thanks,

Emily

Try adding either +d3 or +d30 or +d31 option. See which one works best for you.

Leonid.
