Editing Transcription (linguistics) (section)

===CA (conversation analysis)===
Arguably the first system of its kind, originally sketched in (Sacks et al. 1978), later adapted for the use in computer readable corpora as ''CA-CHAT'' by (MacWhinney 2000). The field of Conversation Analysis itself includes a number of distinct approaches to transcription and sets of transcription conventions. These include, among others, Jefferson Notation. To analyze conversation, recorded data is typically transcribed into a written form that is agreeable to analysts. There are two common approaches. The first, called narrow transcription, captures the details of conversational interaction such as which particular words are stressed, which words are spoken with increased loudness, points at which the turns-at-talk overlap, how particular words are articulated, and so on. If such detail is less important, perhaps because the analyst is more concerned with the overall gross structure of the conversation or the relative distribution of turns-at-talk amongst the participants, then a second type of transcription known as broad transcription may be sufficient (Williamson, 2009).

====Jefferson Transcription System====
The Jefferson Transcription System is a set of symbols, developed by [[Gail Jefferson]], which is used for transcribing talk. Having had some previous experience in transcribing when she was hired in 1963 as a clerk typist at the [[University of California, Los Angeles|UCLA]] Department of Public Health to transcribe sensitivity-training sessions for prison guards, Jefferson began transcribing some of the recordings that served as the materials out of which Harvey Sacks' earliest lectures were developed. Over four decades, for the majority of which she held no university position and was unsalaried, Jefferson's research into talk-in-interaction has set the standard for what became known as [[conversation analysis#Jeffersonian transcription|conversation analysis]] (CA). Her work has greatly influenced the sociological study of interaction, but also disciplines beyond, especially linguistics, communication, and anthropology.<ref>{{cite web |title=Gail Jefferson Obituary • 1938-2008 • Quotes from authorities, colleagues, friends |url=http://www.gail-jefferson.com/obituary.html |website=gail-jefferson.com |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150209140935/http://gail-jefferson.com/obituary.html |archive-date=2015-02-09}}</ref> This system is employed universally by those working from the CA perspective and is regarded as having become a near-globalized set of instructions for transcription.<ref>Davidson, C.
