Transcription, the written representation of spoken human language,
is vital to any language documentation and revitalization project. This
hands-on workshop introduces participants to a variety of different
transcription methodologies for various purposes. The workshop
primarily focuses two types of transcription: (i) phonetic transcription
using the International Phonetic Alphabet and (ii) discourse
transcription where elements of well-known transcription systems are
introduced (Conversation Analysis – developed at UC Santa Barbara). The
workshop emphasizes the nuts and bolts of these transcription systems and
how to apply transcription practices to documentation and revitalization
