We will just tokenize (i.e. split the words of the prosodic units into individual cells) the

grammatical word tier(s) tx@SP into the mot@SP tier(s). (Respectively tx@SP1 into

mot@SP1; tx@SP2 into mot@SP2; tx@SPp into mot@SP3 for multiple speakers):

● Tier, Tokenise tier

● Source : tx@SP

● Destination : mot@SP

● Start, Close

Displaying the tiers in the right order

The imported tiers may appear in a mixed order

● Click-Drag and Drop the labels of the tiers you want to move

● Right-click on the labels area

● Sort Tiers, sort by hierarchy

Changing the transcription of the tx tier

The tx@SP line(s) contain(s) the morphophonological transcription. This line has to be

changed in ELAN by hand, unit by unit, into a broad phonetic transcription closely

mirroring the audio file (assimilations and dissimilations retained), and containing

phonological words instead of grammatical words.

At the end the ELAN file is correctly prepared and the mot tier is ready to be segmented

into morphemes and annotated with the help of the lexicon and the internal parser.

4.3. Exporting the transcription lines to Praat (for further

prosodic investigations)

This is a parenthesis for those who are concerned about having both a broad phonetic

transcription and a grammatical word transcription in Praat. Here is a way of obtaining

that result through ELAN, instead of doing those two transcriptions in Praat. Indeed, it is

easy to export tiers content and time delimitation from ELAN to Praat.

From ELAN:

● File, Export As, choose Praat textGrid

● Uncheck the Show only root tiers checkbox

● Choose tx and mot (even ref if you want), OK

● Choose the directory where to save the textGrid, and give the file a name

Now, this textGrid can be opened in Praat. The first tier will be the broad phonetic

translation, the second one the grammatical word transcription. Be aware that the time

boundaries of each word of the mot tier are correctly inside the time boundaries of the tx
