Analysis on a transсrіpt
The question asks you to demonstrate your understanding of ideas in the module materials by applying them to authentic language data. This means recognising where particular features appear, and discussing the role that they play in social interaction. There are many examples of conversation analysis in Module Book 2, but you might want to look in particular at Activity 1.3 as an example to inform your own analysis. This not only identifies adjacency pairs, dispreferred responses, speech acts, transition relevance places and interruptions in a short transсrіpt, but shows how the three speakers use these to interact with one another. The question asks you to use your own transсrіpt to demonstrate your understanding of how features such as these are used to build and maintain relationships. You may also draw on additional transсrіpts in the module materials if you wish. Remember, however, that the given interaction should form the core of your analysis. [unique_solution]Remember too that the interaction analysed in Activity 1.3 is different in nature from that in the recording you’re being asked to transcribe, so some features will not be the same. To complete the transсrіption task successfully, you must use transсrіption conventions appropriately in order to represent aspects of social interaction taking place in the conversation. Using transсrіption conventions from the module materials, transcribe an extract from an audio conversation between Chris and Tania which forms part of the BBC’s Listening Project. When Tania fled her home in central Africa, she found a second mum, Chris, in the UK. Tania and Chris talk about Chris acting as Tania’s birth partner and about their special relationship. https://www.bbc.co.uk/ sounds/ play/ m0002cnw Transcribe only that part of the conversation that begins at 00:43 with Chris saying ‘obviously it was a time when you might have wanted your mum’ and ends at 01:53 with Tania saying ‘yes I think she would’. Using evidence from your transсrіpt and relevant concepts from the module materials, discuss the ways in which people use ordinary English conversation to build and maintain relationships.
