Recently, I have been looking into transcripts from a variation of different sources such as TV programmes and real life situations. Along with this, analysing them has been something I've had to do as part of my course.
Conventions of transcripts:
Pauses:
- Can be of various lengths
- A pause in replacement of a comma is called a micropause
- Sentences that don't start with a capital letter
- Indicates a sense of finality
- Difference in tone of voice
- Rising intonation would be a question
- Represented by an up ↑ arrow or a down ↓ arrow
- Shown by a '/' where the second speaker talks
- An overlap is where the first speaker continues to talk
- They can both show dominance over speakers
- Body language
- Actions
- Tone of voice
- Can be indicated by square brackets, '[ ]'
