I was looking in the database for utterances that are phonological fragments (e.g. &bababa).
According to https://talkbank.org/manuals/CHAT.pdf, they are used as follows:
"Disfluencies such as fillers, phonological fragments, and repeated segments are all coded by a preceding &"
However, in the current database the ampersand symbol appears to be missing: Instead of "&bababa", the utterance becomes "bababa". Thus I can not know whether the word is an actual word or just a phonological transcription of the utterance.
Would it be possible to add this information to the database?
