-====== 1.3.5 Technical messages ======
+====== 1.2.5 Technical messages ======
-WhatsApp sometimes generates messages when something happens in a chat. If, for example, a user leaves a group, the message can be //Peter left// or //Peter hat die Gruppe verlassen//.  In order to get one wording for these messages, we encoded them, e.g. //actionQuserOUT// We also encoded messages in which we made changes, e.g. if we removed media files.

-The following codes exist in the corpus in the field "tok":
+This results in the following values for the field //msg_type//:
+  * ''actionQiconDEL'' the avatar was deleted
+  * ''actionQiconUPD'' the avatar was changed
+  * ''actionQsubjUPD'' the name of a group was updated
+  * ''actionQuerIN'' a speaker was added to a group
+  * ''actionQuserOUT'' a speaker was removed or removed themselves
+  * ''actionQuserREM'' Meta text about a speaker in a group chat
+Other options in the field //msg_type// are:
+  * '' content'' A message with text written by a communication partner
+  * '' encrypted'' A message that was encrypted
+  * '' media'' A message that contained a media file such as a sound file, an image or a video
+  * '' no consent'' A message written by a communication partner who did not give [[01_corpus:02_preprocessing:02_without_permission|permission]] for his texts to be used.
+Since most of these technical messages do not contain any text, they are also marked in the field //tok// as follows:
+  * '' mediaQremoved'' for media that we removed
+  * '' emptyQmsg'' an empty message
+  * '' encryptedQmsg'' some informants encrypted their messages
+  * '' systemQspk53'' says very generally that speaker 53 did something from the first bullet list above, e.g. leave a group.
-  * mediaQremoved: for media that we removed
-  * emptyQmsg: an empty message
-  * encryptedQmsg: some informants encrypted their messages
-  * systemQspk53: says very generally, that speaker 53 did something, e.g. changed the title, joined the group etc.
-If you want more information about what speaker 53 did in the above example, you have to query the field msg_type, which knows the following options:
-  * actionQiconDEL: the avatar was deleted
-  * actionQiconUPD: the avatar was changed
-  * actionQsubjUPD: the name of a group was updated
-  * actionQuerIN: a speaker was added to a group
-  * actionQuserOUT: a speaker was removed or removed themselves
-  * actionQuserREM: Meta text about a speaker in a group chat
-The other options in this field are self-explanatory or mentioned above: content, encrypted, media, no consent
