quasi-publishing

[Brian MacWhinney]

Your colleague could contribute these conversations with linked audio to TalkBank, so people could really get into the data she has analyzed.   We could post her manuscript along with the data.  It would get an ISBN.  Whether libraries will eventually ingest material in this form is unclear.
