Levels of transcription and encoding

 

The discussion of different needs in the transcription of spoken corpora outlined in 2.2 aimed at emphasizing the point that, although a certain degree of convergence can be achieved, different communities may require different levels of transcription and encoding. Approaches to transcription developed within the speech and the corpus linguistics community will be surveyed, and a proposal for relating these respective systems will be presented in this part of the report.
