Die Verarbeitung von mehrsprachigen Gesprächsaufnahmen. Vorschläge zur Transkription mündlicher Sprachdaten in der Fremdsprachenforschung

Abstract

Existing transcription conventions for spoken language provide extensive solutions to transcribe specific languages, and they can often be adapted to the transcription of other languages. However, the issue is more complex when the audio material is multilingual. In the case of bilingual data and if both languages are clearly distinguishable from each other, this can still be solved by simple typographical marking (regular vs. oblique), but it requires more elaborate solutions to visualize multilingualism and language hybrids, that can be particularly frequent in settings of language learning. For this purpose, I present a transcription system developed for polyglot speaking. With regard to practices of international publishing, but also for the access to languages that are not understood by the entire readership, the translation of language data is discussed in a final chapter.
