Reihe: Research Methods in Linguistics

Research Methods in Linguistics guides the reader through the key issues, principles, and contributions of core methods in linguistic research. It is an essential resource for researchers and research students looking for clear introductions to key concepts, accessible discussions of theory and practice through illustrative examples, and critical engagement with current debates.

Topics include: developing research questions; combining methods; quantitative research designs (including questionnaires, chi-square tests and t-tests); corpus analysis; qualitative research methods (discourse analytic approaches, linguistic ethnography, interviews & focus groups, multimodal analysis, and narrative analysis).

With each chapter offering an overview of key issues, many examples from recent linguistic research, and suggestions for further reading, this book will be an invaluable resource for anyone working with linguistic data.
