Field recording in linguistic research: how to achieve high-quality audio recordings?

• Languages of publication: CS

Abstracts

EN

The article deals with recording techniques in linguistic field research. It aims at providing linguists with technical and practical knowledge on how to make a high quality speech recording in a non-laboratory setting. As the first step in field recording is to master the manipulation with the audio device, the paper starts with the presentation and the explanation of basic concepts related to digital audio signal processing. It goes on with the description of the basic technical equipment for speech recording as well as some of the supplementary components. This should help the readers handle the instruments in practice. A separate section is devoted to the classification and the description of external microphones which can be used as an effective extension of compact recording devices. Apart from technical aspects of field recording, practical issues such as the choice of an appropriate place and the organization of the recording session are also discussed. Attention is paid to the ways how to manage and store the recordings too, including proper treatment of the metadata. Finally, some suggestions on how to enhance the spontaneity of the respondents’ speech behaviour are offered. The article draws primarily on the authors’ own experience with field recording and it presupposes no previous knowledge of technical terms and audio processing techniques.
