{{Main|Text annotation#Linguistic annotation}}

One purpose of annotation is to transform the data into a form suitable for computer-aided analysis. Prior to annotation, an annotation scheme is defined that typically consists of tags. During tagging, transcriptionists manually add tags into transcripts where required linguistical features are identified in an annotation editor. The annotation scheme ensures that the tags are added consistently across the data set and allows for verification of previously tagged data.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://cawse.transcribear.com/pdf/transcription-conventions-spoken-data.pdf|title=Annotation Schemes {{!}} CAWSE |date=2017-02-05|work=General Annotation Conventions |access-date=2019-01-06}}</ref> Aside from tags, more complex forms of linguistic annotation include the annotation of phrases and relations, e.g., in [[treebank]]s. Many different forms of linguistic annotation have been developed, as well as different formats and tools for creating and managing linguistic annotations, as described, for example, in the Linguistic Annotation Wiki.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://annotation.exmaralda.org/|title=LinguisticAnnotation|website=annotation.exmaralda.org}}</ref>
