Purpose of Jeffersonian Notation
The Jefferson notation system was developed because there was a need for a transcript system which took into account greater levels of detail beyond the spoken word. This notation system is a sequential system rather than functional system of analysis for things such as repair in talk,and turn-taking. Although transcription in this format can initially appear complex and hard to read, the system is intended to naturally build on familiar ideas, like underling in text to stress a point. The apparent increase in complexity comes from the fact that there are many more things going on than are registered in orthographic transcripts or play-script transcript.
