Guidelines for Transcription
A
- Do not use capital letters or punctuation
marks. - If there are double letters in the spelling of a word, do not use double consonants in a transcription.
- Be careful to distinguish your symbols properly. Do not confuse certain symbols, like /θ/ and /ð/.
- Be careful when transcribing /r/, /l/, and /n/ when they occur at the end of a word in velarization. You would transcribe these “syllabic” consonants with a tick mark under the symbol.
