"The transcriber must learn to listen for, classify, interpret, and notate the discourse features that are deemed significant."
"The goal of discourse transcription ... is to represent in writing those aspects of a given speech event ... which carry functional significance to the participants -- whether these are linguistic, paralinguistic, or nonlinguistic -- in a form that is accessible to analysis."

"The discourse transcriber seeks to write down what is significant to users of language, and for this must draw on a knowledge of the language transcribed, as well as of the culture that goes with it." (emphasis mine)
"One tries to record those cues which the interlocutors themselves attend to and make use of, in their process of monitoring and participating in the ongoing spoken interaction." (emphasis mine)

"Deciding what to transcribe, and what not to transcribe, is important not only for economizing effort, but also for focusing on fruitful research questions and the means required to answer them."

"This is the reason ... that there will always be more than one way to transcribe spoken discourse: any transcription system will reflect its users' perspective and goals" (Ochs 1979).
"Transcription is anything that you have to listen to the tape for; if you can mark something without listening to the tape, that’s no longer transcription but coding."
"Another level of transcription pertains to the creation of a written representation of recordings of more or less natural communicative events (everyday conversations, narratives, interactive games, speeches, etc.). The written representation typically provides the basis for the further analysis of such events."

"Transcription practices in this domain have been the object of theoretical and practical reflections in (different traditions of) discourse and conversation analysis, Elinor Ochs’ (1979) paper Transcription as Theory being the classic example (cp. Edwards & Lampert 1993 for a collection of papers on this topic and Bucholtz 2007 for a more extensive bibliography)."
"Unfortunately, neither the theoretical concerns nor the practical guidelines developed in these traditions (e.g. Du Bois et al. 1992, Selting et al. 2009) have had a major impact on practices in field linguistics and language documentation."

"That is, despite the fact that discourse transcription is at the core of documentary linguistic activity, it remains a topic that is rarely discussed in the field. Consequently, there is little agreement about very fundamental decisions such as how to segment spoken language (cp. Himmelmann 2006 for a short overview of the main issues)."
"More often than not, segmentation units above the word (i.e. prosodic units and/or syntactic phrases) are not explicitly discussed or justified, and are thus difficult to reconstruct and evaluate for users of a documentation. To make discourse transcription a major topic in the field, then, is one aspect of meeting the transcription challenge in language documentation."
"The segmentation of continuous spoken discourse at levels higher than the orthographic word is rarely, if ever explicitly, addressed in descriptive linguistics. That is, it usually remains a mystery as to how exactly the author(s) arrived at the format of a transcript published in a text collection or in the appendix of a grammar."

Let's change this!!
Intonation unit:
"a stretch of speech uttered under a single coherent intonation contour"
Truncated intonation unit:
"...indicates that a speaker breaks off the intonation unit before completing its projected contour"
