The clinical analysis layer of transcription

Abstract

The clinical analysis layer of transcription is part of a 'toolkit' approach for detailed analysis of communication samples. This article provides a rationale for using the clinical analysis strategy and is supported by several examples of how a clinical analysis layer can add to the understanding of communication errors or other clinical areas of interest. The examples used in this paper are drawn from the areas of stuttering and aural rehabilitation and demonstrate the utility of this clinical analysis layer of transcription.
