TRANSCRIPTION OF WORDS

                                                TRANSCRIPTION OF WORDS 

            Phonetic vs. Phonemic Transcription ‘Narrow’ phonetic transcription notes the words a speaker says as a series of sounds. Every sound has its own symbol. This can lead to a very complex transcription document. There is a simpler way to transcribe these sounds: phonemic (‘broad’) transcription. With phonemic transcription, two similar sounds may share the same symbol if the difference between the sounds does not change the word’s meaning. Thus, phonemic transcription is less nuanced than phonetic one. A broad transcription can be a useful compromise between a narrow transcription and an orthographic one. However, it might not have as much detail as some specialists need.
