discussing diff. theories on the analytical effects of transcribing
in-depth interviews using various conventions..
It depends on how you use your interviews, as 'resource' or as 'topic' (cf.
Seale, 1998). In the first case you are oriented to the content of the
interview, and you would in all probability not be essentially interested
in interactional details. But in the second case you would, and you would
need a detailed transcript in order to analyse the interview as
interaction. In the latter case, the conventions develeoped in conversation
analysis by Gail Jefferson would be most appropiate. A detailed discussion
can be found in chapter 5 (pp. 75-97)of my book, mentioned below:
