Abstract
Transcription is an important analytic resource for the investigation of naturally occurring social interaction. Whereas for talk there is a broadly accepted orthography, developed by Gail Jefferson, that has proved invaluable for both the analysis and the presentation of data, the transcription of visible conduct has remained a long-standing challenge to those with an interest in multimodal aspects of social interaction. In this chapter, we discuss one or two of the issues that arise in the transcription of the visible aspects of social action and introduce procedures that build upon the transcription system for talk to encompass aspects of the bodily conduct and comportment of participants. These procedures are primarily concerned with enhancing the analysis of the interactional production of particular actions, with the recording remaining the principal data. They are not, therefore, an attempt to develop a system that stands as a substitute for original materials, namely the recordings. We seek to exemplify these procedures by considering a number of examples drawn from the workplace, including control centers and operating theaters, settings that pose particular demands for those of us interested in the detailed analysis of ordinary, everyday social interaction
