3 Materials and methodology
3.1 Interviews (video/audio)
3.1.1 Transcription
For the initial transcription, aimed at the creation of subtitles and “plain” texts (i.e. only reporting the uttered words), we used Aegisub 3.2.2.

Dialect
Words or sentences in dialect are delimited by the tag {\i1}{\i0}, used in subtitling for formatting the text to italic. After the closing {\i0} tag there is no space and an opening square bracket [ indicates the beginning of the translation. Dialect orthography is based on (???) and (???).
Example: {\i1}e i'g feven daboun{\i0}[e gliele facevamo davvero]
Inaudible words
Whenever one or more word is inaudible, the tags {\s1}{\s0} (used in subtitling to format the text to strikethrough) are added in place of the word(s).
Example: cosa succede? {\s1}{\s0} invece diceva
Entities
Entities - such as names of people, places, companies, etc…) are included in the {\u1}{\u0} tag, used in subtitling to format the text to underlined.
Example: una volta c'eran le {\u1}Corni{\u0}
