Annotation and transcription standards for research into the process of EFL lexico-grammatical consultation in the Web 2.0 environment

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to provide clear guidelines for transcribing learner data. The usage scenario envisages studies whose aim is to describe and analyze various aspects of the use of online dictionaries and/or other language-oriented consultation sources. The framework proposed is based on the premise that data would be collected by means of screen casting (or similar to screen casting), with the caveat that the information must be at least partially recorded and interpreted by humans. Consequently, solutions such as log files, which are a fully automated way of collecting similar data, do not fall within the scope of this project.
