Oookayyy. MLA was high school. Then I pretty much had CMS memorized by the end of undergrad because I had a professor that would kick your papers back to you if you had a semicolon instead of a colon or a smudge of ink on the title page. 
…but now I’m in APA mode for applied linguistics! Bleh, no big deal. The OWL and Son of a Citation are useful tools here. Google is great. No more 800 page books on the particulars. I’ve managed just fine until now.
I need an appendix. I think I can do that by eyeballing the guide and making sure I have no grave errors.
BUT! I numbered my lines like this (it’s a written piece w/analysis) because it’s easier to note Line 6, 8, and 10 when referencing a certain habit of a non native speaker or whatever.
We didn’t have an appendix for our first two papers, but our final paper is cumulative and everything is merged into a huge portfolio. I did the in-text line#s the first time (not sure if that was wrong or not) and the professor liked it, but now the format has to change because we merge our stuff. With an appendix.
Can anyone point to a guide with specifics on how to do that? 
I can’t say (Line 2, 6, & 5) or something anymore. It’s in an appendix and I may have been wrong to do it in the first place (he docked plenty of people for improper APA usage and i was sure he’d mention it, but nope).
Do i have to re-write the first paper to adjust or can I just note to see the appendix?
But that’s only part my problem. The question I can’t find online is how to properly reference points in an** oral transcript**. That’s the second part of the paper.
:smack::smack: I wanted to do the line# thing (for example, if I’m noting a slipup with the ‘to be’ verb, it’s probably going to come up a lot.) Can I? How?
sigh And I need some kind of note-from-the-author section before the second half in regards to my oral transcript because it’s about the context…yet it’s not an intro. Google Gods aren’t helping because I don’t even know what to search for.
Help much appreciated.
