Example 012: Mispronunciations
Example:

  • well you probably know a lot about it I wasn't sure that they were blaming that spla[ce]- space disaster on one company I hadn't heard that
    Play this example

  • I played chicert[os]- uh concertos and other stuff but
    Play this example
Question(s):
  • When a word is mispronounced and the mispronunciation is not a word, how should this be transcribed?
Resolution:
  • A mispronunciation will be put in brackets alongside the word that was meant: [mispronunciation/actual word]. Therefore the two examples above would be transcribed as [spla[ce]-/space] and [chicert[os]-/concertos].
