Abstract: Conversation analysts, discourse analysts, ethnographers, linguists, and rhetoricians often use audio recordings of interactions as a primary means of gathering and analyzing data. Although the level of attention to the details of the recorded data differs based on researcher orientation, we believe that all researchers relying on audio recordings can benefit from a basic understanding of field audio-recording equipment and techniques. We begin with a general discussion of practical issues regarding equipment selection (to match needs and budget) and setup for both ambient room recording and telephone recording. We then move to a more technical discussion of how recording and signal variation, device speed, and tape properties can affect the quality of the recording and the reliability and longevity of recorded data. We conclude with a brief checklist of suggestions and precautions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
