摘要在ELAN（tla. mpi. nl/tools/tla-tools/elan，Wittenburg et al. 2006）实施之前，社会语言学家通常使用多种软件应用程序，因此沿着从记录参与者到对数据进行统计分析的路线使用多种格式。我们提出了一种方法，它允许转录，提取，编码，准备统计分析，计算一些基本的频率统计，并创建一个和谐所有在一个程序。ELAN是一种很好的语言文档工具。ELAN经常用于转录和多层标记，说明语言结构的层次以及翻译和注释。我们希望这种交叉介绍将鼓励社会语言学家中的纪录片语言学家的效率，并增加纪录片之间的差异记录的兴趣。在概述了ELAN的实用性之后，我们专注于在变分主义社会语言学框架中提取（或标记）和编码语言变量的标记以进行定量分析。这种因变量和自变量的记录、转录和编码之间的无缝连接提高了一致性、效率、实用性、可靠性以及编码对原始记录的责任。我们举例说明了一系列的好处，并包括一步一步的说明，伴随着可下载的示例文件和视频剪辑，以说明该过程的每一步（扩展ELAN教程files.zip）。我们还包括关于将现有（遗留）成绩单导入ELAN的说明。
Abstract Prior to the implementation of ELAN (tla.mpi.nl/tools/tla-tools/elan, Wittenburg et al. 2006), it was common for sociolinguists to use multiple software applications, and consequently multiple formats, along the route from recording participants to conducting statistical analyses of the data. We present a method which allows for transcription, extracting, coding, preparation for statistical analysis, calculation of some basic frequency statistics, and creation of a concordance all within one program. ELAN is well established as a valuable tool for language documentation. ELAN is frequently used for transcription and multi-tier mark-up illustrating levels of linguistic structure as well as translations and glosses. We hope that this crossover introduction will encourage the efficiency of documentary linguists among sociolinguists and increase the interest in documenting variation among documentarians. After providing an overview of ELAN’s utility, we focus on extracting (or marking) and coding tokens of linguistic variables for quantitative analysis in the variationist sociolinguistic framework. This seamless connection between recording, transcript and coding of dependent and independent variables improves consistency, efficiency, utility, reliability and the accountability of our coding to the original recording. We illustrate a range of benefits and include step-by-step instructions accompanied by downloadable sample files and video clips to illustrate each step of the process (Extending ELAN tutorial files.zip). We also include instructions on importing existing (legacy) transcripts into ELAN.
