The AMC contains the orthographic transcriptions of dialogs from movies produced in the United States of America from 1959 to 2019. These movie dialogs were transcribed by proficient speakers of English who received specific training. The transcriptions were checked at several stages by different transcribers to make sure that they were free from misunderstandings and typographical errors. The conventions illustrated here are the most recent update of the ones illustrated in Forchini (2012) and (2021). Starting from the assumption that orthographic transcriptions are imperfect written approximations of speech, possible misrepresentations may still be present in the dialogs: if found, further updates will be issued and will be illustrated here.

Abstract
The AMC contains the orthographic transcriptions of dialogs from movies produced in the United States of America from 1959 to 2019. These movie dialogs were transcribed by proficient speakers of English who received specific training. The transcriptions were checked at several stages by different transcribers to make sure that they were free from misunderstandings and typographical errors. The conventions illustrated here are the most recent update of the ones illustrated in Forchini (2012) and (2021). Starting from the assumption that orthographic transcriptions are imperfect written approximations of speech, possible misrepresentations may still be present in the dialogs: if found, further updates will be issued and will be illustrated here.
