Transcription Conventions

This document is a scanned version of Du Bois et al. 1988, chapter 2. No systematic efforts have been attempted to correct errors due to the scanning process. Audio files are digitized based on the accompanying tape from the authors.

Note that although not all of the conventions described here reflect the latest version of this particular transcription system, as represented by Du Bois et al. 1993, the majority of the conventions we see here is still current and some of the notations have been updated by me with a "search-and-replacement" method. The reason I chose this older version of the system and put it here is simply because the audio tape of the examples goes with this version.
