Alexa Hepburn is a research professor in the Department of Communication at Rutgers University. Her research is focused on the use and development of conversation analytic methods, in particular, emotional expressions, parents′ strategies for managing children′s behavior, and techniques for giving advice and responding empathically to distress. Analytic insights are then applied in professional–client encounters, such as medical consultations, therapeutic environments, and helpline interactions.
The authors’ calm and well-organised coverage pays tribute to a
generous variety of transcription styles in the Conversation
Analysis tradition. The book is an invaluable source of techniques
for capturing the words, whoops, gulps, sighs, eyebrow-flashes and
head-nods of language in all the complexity of its performance.
*Charles Antaki*
An excellent, clear and comprehensive guide to the transcription of
talk-in-interaction from the perspective of conversation analysis,
demonstrating the continuing 50 year influence, relevance and
productivity of Gail Jefferson’s ground-breaking initiatives.
*Charles Goodwin*
The authors argue that standard orthography is unable to represent
the ‘words, gestures and conduct of the people being studied’.
Drawing on insights from conversation analysis which show how
social phenomena are ‘realised through talk in interaction’, as
well as discursive psychology and ethnomethodology, Hepburn and
Bolden show the reader, in ten succinct and well written chapters,
how to capture words and interactions and record them accurately on
paper
[...]
Transcribing for Social Research his an invaluable contribution to
the methodological literature which will appeal to researchers
across a range of disciplines who wish to successfully capture
speech in all its complexity.
*SRA Research Matters*
Transcription is often be viewed as merely recording what people
have said in written form. Simple. In contrast, this book
emphasises both the importance and complexity of this element of
research..
[..]
..it is pitched at a level which is appropriate for those with a
wide range of experiences. Ultimately, this book is likely to
become the go-to text for transcription in the social sciences, for
both novice and expert researchers alike.
