The Myth of the Objective Transcript: Transcribing as a Situated Act.

Green, Judith; And Others

TESOL Quarterly, v31 n1 p172-76 Spr 1997

Explores the ethical issues involved in transcribing, and argues that transcribing is a situated act within a study embedded in a conceptual ecology of a discipline. Emphasizes that transcribing is a political act reflecting a discipline's conventions and a researcher's conceptualization of a phenomenon, research goals, and underlying theories.
