Working with
Transcriptions of
Spoken Language
For Paper 3 and Paper 4, students need to be comfortable working
with transcriptions of spoken language. Some of the textual data
they will be presented with in the examinations will be in this form,
and they will also need to do some research by compiling samples of
spoken language from their own speech communities.

The 9093 syllabus does not require students to know about phonetic
transcription, but some students might become interested in ways
of representing and analysing speech sounds. A good and accessible
resource for the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols can
be found at: http://www.phonemicchart.com/
