, Çà et là, sur le gazon, de belles fleurs brillaient comme des étoiles et il y avait douze pêchers qui, au printemps, se couvraient d'une délicate floraison rose et blanche et à l'automne portaient de beaux fruits. Les oiseaux perchés sur les arbres chantaient si bien que les enfants avaient coutume d'arrêter leurs jeux pour les écouter. « Comme nous sommes heureux ici ! » s'écriaient-ils souvent, Chaque après-midi, en revenant de l'école, les enfants allaient jouer dans le jardin du géant. C'était un grand et beau jardin au doux gazon vert

, Un matin, le géant se prélassait dans son lit, lorsqu'il entendit une musique délicieuse. Elle était si douce à ses oreilles qu'il crut que les musiciens du roi passaient par là

, Whilst the letter 'A' enclosed between angle brackets always signifies the interviewer's turn, the letter 'B' between angle brackets indicates the interviewee's (learner's) turn. The end of each turn is, <A> okay so which topic have you chosen </A> <B> the film or play that I thought was particularly good or bad really </B>

, Overlapping speech The tag <overlap /> (with a space between "overlap" and the slash) is used to indicate the beginning of overlapping speech

, <B> yeah I went on a bus to London once and I'll never <overlap /> do it again </B> <A> <overlap /> that's even worse </A> pauses Empty pauses are defined as a blank on the tape, i.e. no sound, or when someone is just breathing. The following three tier system is used: one dot for a 'short' pause (< 1 second), two dots for a 'medium' pause (1-3 seconds) and three dots for

, No other fillers should be used. e.g.: <B> yeah . well Namur was warmer (er) it was (eh) a really little town </B> 7. Unclear passages A three tier system is used to indicate the length of unclear passages: <X> represents an unclear syllable or sound up to one word, <XX> represents two unclear words, and <XXX> represents more than two words. e.g.: <B> <X> they're just begging <XX> there's there's honestly he did a course .. for a few weeks </B> If transcribers are not entirely sure of a word or word ending, they should indicate this by having the word directly followed by the symbol '<?>'. e.g.: <B>: I went to see a<?, <B> erm .. it's a British film there aren't many of those these days </B> 6. Filled pauses and backchannelling Filled pauses and backchannelling are marked as (eh) [brief], (er)

, Non-standard forms that appear in the dictionary are transcribed orthographically in their dictionary accepted way: cos, dunno, gonna, gotta, wanna and yeah. 11. Foreign words and pronunciation Foreign words are indicated by <foreign>

, <B> I didn't have the erm . <foreign> distinction </foreign> </B> 12. Acronyms If acronyms are pronounced as sequences of letters, <B> we couldn't go with er knives and so on <foreign> enfin </foreign> we were er </B> As a rule

G. French and G. B&gt;, <B> yes not really I did

, they are transcribed as a series of upper-case letters not separated by spaces. e.g.: <A> mhm er you're doing a MAELT </A> 13. Dates and numbers Figures have to be written out in words. This avoids the ambiguity of, for example, 1901.

, <B> I hope so I've I've got some <coughs> friends out there </B>

, <B> so I went back into Breda . and sat down again <imitates the sound of a guitar> </B> 15. Contextual comments Non-linguistic events are indicated between angle brackets only if they are deemed relevant to the interaction

, <A> no it's true it's nice to have your own bathroom </A> <somebody enters the room> <B> hi </B>

, Prosodic information: voice quality If a particular stretch of text is said laughing or whispering for instance, this is marked by inserting <begin laughter> or <begin whisper> immediately before the specific stretch of speech and <end laughter> or <end whisper> at the end of it
