APPENDIX One

Transcript of the activity of deciding where to set the trawl

This appendix contains the transcript of activity analyzed in Chapter 4.  The appendix first describes the conventions employed in the transcript, and then lists the transcript itself.

Each "speech stream" is denoted by a time stamp, representing the location of the event on tape.  Each "stream" generally represents the contiguous speech of one speaker, but it may be segemented by other events which occur.  A "clause" is such a segment of the stream, and often represents some topical shift in the content of what is being said.

( )= "thicker" translation, for readability.

[ ] = unclear or partially heard utterance.

{ } = non-linguistic sounds or other explanation.

... = gap of silence in middle of speech stream, often occurs when the speaker is simultaneously engaged in some non-verbal task, eg. interacting with an instrument.

/ = interruption of speech stream.

? = a question is implied by rising intonation, or by content, at end of speech stream or clause.

. = pause in speech stream usually marking end of a clause.  (Note: the start of a speech stream has an implied "." since the new stream constitutes—unless otherwise marked—a change in topic, a point significantly later in time, or a change in speaker.)

, = slight pause in speech stream, usually as a consequence of topic or emphasis shift by speaker.

TAPE COUNTER:    This column shows the starting tape counter position of the speech to the right.  These values represent running time in minutes and seconds, but run a bit slower (roughly 10%) than real time in part due to the fact that the original playback onto this tape was slowed down to make the speech more interpretable.

SPEAKER:                               This column denotes the speaker. Bold indicates the public radio channel, otherwise, it is the private channel of the pair.  A and D are captains of Sydö, B and C of Nordö, the two boats which make up this pair.  Recording took place on board Sydö.

VOICE TRANSCRIPTION:      Swedish transcription from audio tape.  Done by me with help from one of the captains involved.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:     My translation of the Swedsh text.

OTHER INFO:            This column contains pointers to other figures and diagrams, as well as a computed "real time" taken from the time stamp of the video camara.  Bold entries in this column refer to video recorded data.  The notation "----------" indicates existance of video footage of some part of this event.  The notation [+xx:yy] and [-xx:yy] refers to constructions of states of affairs (figures) based on video frames which are approximately xx minutes and yy seconds later or earlier in real time, respectively.  Shadow numbers represent position fixes for the indicated boat (these fixes are represented in the reconstructions of boat positions—see Figures 36 and 37).

INTERP. COMMENTS:           This column contains comments which move toward analytic statements about the situation and events.
