When SALT analyzes the content of utterances to determine imitations, it only looks at the preceding utterance. If your transcript was
M con los compañeros, with peers?
L con los compañeros, with peers?
it would have been recognized as an imitation. However, then there would only be one question asked, not two. If this occurs frequently and imitations are important to your analysis, you may want to code imitations by hand, using bracketed codes.
