Abstract

The study describes a research project aimed at creating a set of interviews with forensic doctors. It approaches the way of addressing narrators, making questionnaires, and deals with the individual editions of text editing, such as transcription of recorded text, anonymization, formal, stylistics and grammatical text editing.

Repeated text consultations with narrators prior to authorization are highlighted. There is a striking difference between the recorded text and the authorized form as well as an extraordinarily high degree of self-censorship.
