question about CHIP

[Janet Bang]

Hello, 

I am using CHIP with the default parameters, and I came across a segment of utterances where I couldn't figure out why the last two MOT utterances didn't have %adu tiers - they seemed to be within 7 utterances of the child (source)?

Below is the output and the command I ran was: chip +cCHI +bMOT +f +t@ -ns -nc

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Janet

Output:

Hi,

The default window within child source is 5, that is the response plus 5 previous utterances. If you want to increase that window, then you can use +q6 option. I know that in Usage +qN says that range is 2-7, but the way the CHIP was designed the top +q number is 6. Unfortunately there is no way to make window size bigger, because that is just the limitation of the command design.

Leonid.

Hi Leonid, 

Got it! I think 5 still is ok for us, but I was reviewing other sections and noticed that some %adu tiers weren't showing up within 5. For example, in the examples below, wouldn't there be additional utterances (noted below) with %adu tiers to be within 5 of the CHI source utterance?

Thanks!

Janet

Hi Janet,

I have to say first that I did not write CHIP command, so I don't know what it suppose to do. What is does, however, is to acknowledge all utterances, but it also ignores a child speaker if it has no words like: *CHI: &=vocalizes . In this case utterance *MOT: a_ver venga . is still attributed to child speaker *CHI: hmm .

So, the window count is as follow, for better or for worse:

*CHI: hmm .
1-> *MOT: (es)to se [/] se  arruina hijo y después ya no se pueden ver .
2-> *MOT: se rallan todas .
3-> *MOT: a_ver cuál otras allá ?
4-> *CHI: &=vocalizes .
5-> *MOT: a_ver venga .

Leonid.

Hi Leonid, 

This breakdown was very helpful, as well as knowing that the source utterance was counted in these cases. 

I've tested this out now on a few files and it appears to be consistent where any utterances without a %mor line (e.g., &=vocalizes, or phonological fragments) are counted within the utterance window. 

Thanks!
Janet
