Note

Prose and a mixture of speech elements

Although individual transcriptions may consistently use u elements for turns or other units, and although in most cases a u will be delimited by pause or change of speaker, u is not required to represent a turn or any communicative event, nor to be bounded by pauses or change of speaker. At a minimum, a u is some phonetic production by a given speaker.

Example
<u who="#spkr1">if did you set</u>
<u trans="latchingwho="#spkr2">well Joe and I set it between us</u>
