Talking Data

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"...offers a detailed and sophisticated but nonetheless accessible introduction to transcription....Talking Data's exploration of transcription problems and solutions could save months of painful experience for new investigators of discourse, who should read with a notepad in hand. Its insights into the details of spoken language could be stimulating for many psychologists and others interested in how people think and communicate."
-Contemporary Psychology

"The editors have done an excellent job of soliciting contributions from many of the major discourse analysts in the areas of sociolinguistics and child language....The book would definitely help establish procedures based on solid methodological grounds rather than on past practice."

"...tackles the problem of representing the wide range of phenomena in speech that cannot be written down.

-ICAME Journal

"...a valuable sourcebook for anyone interested in the problems of the transcription and/or coding of oral discourse, especially for researchers who are designing their own system or adapting an existing one to their own purposes. It offers many practical hints, concrete examples, and theoretical/methodological explanations....an excellent stimulus for critical reflection on basic issues in an essential phase in discourse research."
