Reply: variability in transcribers

Mary Bucholtz

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA, USA

Variation in transcription is due in large part to variability in transcribers' theoretical and methodological commitments and goals. This reply addresses issues raised in the commentaries on the article `Variation in Transcription' concerning problems of representing different discourse genres in transcripts, the question of how research relationships shape the transcription process, the intellectual and institutional contexts in which transcription occurs and circulates, and the injunction to consider the practices as opposed to the products of transcription.

Key Words: context • genre • practice • research relationship • technology
