Because speech is not organized in the same way as written language it is difficult to transcribe. The main difficulty is derived from one of the most distinctive characteristics of spoken language: spontaneity. The problems resulting from this issue have been solved by establishing transcription conventions. We have decided to use a tagging scheme to mark distinctive features of spoken language. Our linguistic intuitions have helped us choose the right terminology for these tags.

In this paper we list and explain tags used in the coding of the Reference Corpus of Spoken Peninsular Spanish. A corpus consisting of more than one million words, transcribed orthographically.
