Reviewing the work of Du Bois on 'Transcription convention', I have amended the narrator's text according to Du Bois 'DT1' Transcription symbols. This information came from the University of California, Santa Barbara, Linguistic Society of America, 2006.
The reason for selecting this version as opposed to 'DT2' or 'CA'(for more details, please refer to context file 6, post it note at back of the file) is that I wanted to select the oldest version of transcription to match the tone of the narrative, for example to express that the manner in which the voice comes across is happy, in DT1 this would be shown:
The use of colour within the transcription convention application has also been revised. Previously the narrator's voice was shown using white. The transcription symbols are now depicted in dark red so that the letters are legible and the symbols do not 'compete'. Creating the end punctuation has remained in white otherwise the meaning of the narrative begins to break down.
