Jefferson Transcription 101: How conversation analysts transcribe

[@jehulove9952]

This is BOSS. I'm in the middle of a thesis right now and having a handle on this would be so helpful- I'm reading Wong and Waring and it's invaluable, but with data collection and everything else I don't have the time to devote to mastering Jeffersonian conventions quite yet.... But I'm going to come back to this and get some use out of it for sure. Thanks for the video! Looking forward to learning quite a bit more!

[@matthewsau1]

Lucid and logical. You've included a couple of things I had not seen before. Thanks for being so comprehensive. Extremely helpful.

This video series is amazing and I wish there were more! I think you could really bring linguistics to a popular audience if you wanted to

[@hesterkayrose2724]

Great video, thanks. I wish there was anything as concise and well presented in my course.

It's so great what you did for me and my action research with your video. Thank you.

amazing how 7 minutes explain something that couldn't be nailed on the head for 90 in a lecture i attended

[@THELORENZOTWINS7]

Hello! How do you transcribe conversation which involves taboo expressions? Or what symbols will the analyst use to cover those up to avoid vulgarity especially when it is going to use in academic papers?

[@literallybarbie]

thank you for saving my assignment!!

[@anisgilos]

This is actual gold. Love how you explain everything. Thank you so much:')

Hi, this is actually great video. can you please make the one that also explains gestures?? :)

[@emdoesca]

I would love to! I probably won't get to it for several more months but I really do want to. Eventually!

[@ccccc157]

Great video! It's been very helpful :) Does anyone know if foreign accents should be included in the transcriptions? For example a Spanish person speaking in English with a Spanish accent. Thank you!

[@azeelia]

very helpful and insightful. thank you!!!

[@najibbht9727]

Hi, Thank you very much for these videos. I have this question about how to transcribe a language that has no writing cite. Should I use phonetic symbols along with CA conventions? And how to transcribe spoken text with a lot of code-switching? Is there any literature that addressed this problem? Thank you very much.

[@emdoesca]

re. transcribing non-roman letter languages: This is a great question, and to be honest I do not think there is consensus about this yet in the community. It's an issue for a huge number of languages and EMCA is, to date, very English and European centric. Many put the text in roman letters, e.g. doi.org/10.1017/S0047404510000199 (Clift & Helani 2010). Others use the language's native writing system, e.g. doi.org/10.1177%2F1461445620916367 (Shalash 2020) -- note, I don't know whether Shalash has switched the direction of writing or if it still goes right to left. Arabic and e.g. Japanese hiragana/katakana allow for insertion of Jeffersonian characters ([ ], °. :: etc.) at appropriate syllabic breaks, which can be helpful, whereas this isn't possible or is much more difficult in e.g. Japanese kanji or Mandarin characters to the best of my knowledge. I think the key thing is to think about what one wants to represent. There's also no reason why additional conventions can't be invented to better suit different writing systems. re. code-switching, there is quite a bit on that, though again mostly data in European languages. I'd search the emcawiki (emcawiki.net/EMCA_bibliography_database) for code switching/code-switching.

[@jullychan9627]

Is there someone who could help me with a very short transcribing like that for money?

[@emdoesca]

Usually people use transcription as a way to start analysis themselves, so it isn't super common to have other people transcribe the Jeffersonian elements of EMCA material (guide book here: doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780190228613.013.131). When it is passed on, it's usually to other trained graduate students or postdocs. There are a couple of transcription services that do Jeffersonian work, but I'm afraid I haven't tried any yet.

[@chloemead5530]

how do you measure the pauses accurately? thanks

[@emdoesca]

It depends on what you are measuring. Audacity or Audition or Praat allow you to see the waveform and easily measure time between sounds. ELAN is the tool I use to do this for visual components.

[@beaumcmurray8558]

Thank you! (Also, is that a Hanklerfish?)

[@emdoesca]

Yes :D
