<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I don't have much to respond directly to Richard Senghas' posting about
new technological developments in audio, but in a related thematic, I would
like to ask if anyone knows about...<br>
<br>
Audio presentations. I'd like to experiment with computer-based presentations
for conferences, workshops and classes that include about a few minutes-long
audio recordings of my informants. Now, I know that shouldn't be all too
difficult, however, I have never done anything remotely that complicated with
the computer before, so I'd appreciate advice about how to start. So I am
especially asking if anyone knows about inexpensive audio editing programs,
preferably free versions like shareware to start with (so I can practice). Or
perhaps there is an editing program available as part of a presentation package
that I might already have but don't know about (can I edit audio in any of the
standard issue programs that universities have available to faculty), etc.?<br>
<br>
On a much more interesting note, I intend to experiment with a discourse
analysis presentation for non-linguists, seeing if these technological tools
make the close examination of discourse any way more accessible to the untrained.
D.A. work with specific texts is harder for me to sell as a conference paper
than just a straight up theoretical or descriptive piece might be. I think this
is because the focus on an actual transcribed text that a non-linguist has to
develop is limited and the text even becomes a distraction in the 20 minute
conference format. It may be impossible to bring across, and perhaps work on
closely-examined inference in texts should only be presented to a linguist
crowd, but I want to try!! I'm especially interested in presentations that
could help recruiting graduate students and that could give my non-linguist
colleagues a better idea of what I actually do! If anyone wants to pick up on
this as a discussion topic, I'm all ears.<br>
