We report a small empirical study on the way the transcription used to represent speech affects its meaning. We show that 'disfluencies' in speech indicate far more uncertainty in the speaker when transmitted in text than when transmitted in recorded sound. This has important implications for how tr...

| Sumario: | We report a small empirical study on the way the transcription used to represent speech affects its meaning. We show that 'disfluencies' in speech indicate far more uncertainty in the speaker when transmitted in text than when transmitted in recorded sound.

We propose the implications of different ways of representing speech in text could be a new subject for investigation. Presented here is one possible empirical approach to such studies. |
