A Procedure for Phonetic Transcription by Consensus
Lawrence D. Shriberg, Joan Kwiatkowski, Kit Hoffmann · Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research · 1984
A consensus transcription procedure is presented, and representative data are reported. The procedure includes explicit response definitions for mapping narrow phonetic transcription onto dichotomous, nonerror/error scores and 17 rules for obtaining consensus between two transcribers. The data include descriptive statistics for consensus rule use based on over 18,000 sounds transcribed during a normative study of speech sound acquisition in children aged 3-6 years. Validity and reliability issues in phonetic transcription are discussed.
