Abstract

While agreeing with Walker’s (2014/this issue) appeal to keep form and function in linguistically-inclined conversation analysis separate, I argue that a discussion of what a transcript is and how it can be used is called for. The amount of detail included in a transcript can never be “exhaustive” (according to whatever standards) but is determined by the research question. Glosses are unavoidablefor interactional details outside the research focus. Data are in American English.
