Texts refer to coherent and identifiable pieces of spoken or written communication; for example spoken texts include dialogues, narratives, descriptions, discussion, and argument;

If the recordings are not for public purposes, learners should seek the consent of featured parties, speakers or leveki/caretakers of the taoga.
