3.6. Enum - Enumerated Utterances

3.6.1. Description

Speaker specific utterance transcription with each word and final punctuation enumerated to aid in second-layer gesture coding

3.6.2. Format

entry              ::=  enum+ enum_punct
enum               ::=  number "|" value
number             ::=  <Positive integer>
value              ::=  english_word | foreign_word | letter | idiosyncratic_word | clitic
english_word       ::=  <Any English word>
foreign_word       ::=  "word@f" <where word is any foreign word>
letter             ::=  "x@l" <where x is any letter>
idiosyncratic_word ::=  "word@" <where word is any word unique to child>
clitic             ::=  "'s" | "'ll" | "'m" | "'d" | "'ve"
enum_punct         ::=  number "|" punct
punct              ::=  "." | "?" | "!" | "+..."

3.6.3. Values

Enum entries are composed of enumerated words and orthographic elements. They are created by:

1. Expanding a CHAT formatted utterance into a list of all canonically spelled words, proper nouns, clitics ('s, 'll, 'm, 'd, and 've), standard sentence-final punctuation, and +...s
2. Going through the list and prepending each list item with its numbered position (positions start with 1), and a pipe symbol (|)

3.6.4. Vertical Dependencies

None

3.6.5. Horizontal Dependencies

Enum is dependent upon the CHAT Column.

Enum is derived directly from the content of the CHAT column with the following modifications:

• Each word that has the & prefix is removed, as are all non-sentence-final punctuation and the # symbol
• Words that are contractions with the word “not” are expanded (e.g. don’t => do not)
• Other words that are written with an apostrophe (I’m, he’ll, Mom’s, etc.) are split before the apostrophe (with the exception of let’s)
• All remaining words and punctuation are prefixed by their word number and the | symbol.

Example:

CHAT: let's see, I'm going to make Dad's dinner &xxx .
Enum: 1|let's 2|see 3|I 4|'m 5|going 6|to 7|make 8|Dad 9|'s 10|dinner 11|.
