Linguistics Research Methods

Rhedir gan School of Arts, Culture and Language

20.000 Credyd neu 10.000 Credyd ECTS

Semester 1 a 2

Trefnydd: Prof Thora Tenbrink

Amcanion cyffredinol

Linguistics can be thought of as the scientific study of language. The aim of this module is to equip students with (i) the foundations and tools necessary to design and carry out experiments and research appropriate to the scientific study of language and (ii) the necessary experience to evaluate papers and presentations that utilise a range of different research methods, enabling students to pursue the scientific study of language on a broader scale in the future. While this module provides essential insights into research methods that will be useful for the Master's dissertation, this is not primarily a dissertation preparation module, but more generally a study of research methods and design in Linguistics.

The module will introduce various types of quantitative, qualitative and mixed research methods. By reviewing different experimental designs and data, statistical concepts and analyses will also be introduced. Along with this, we will review basic concepts of empirical research design, and provide an introduction as to how research can be presented in the form of a dissertation. Students will also be introduced to how the library can help in research and to issues surrounding research ethics and the need for ethics approval.

A wide range of research is being conducted by staff in Linguistics and English Language, using different research methods. For this reason, the module will be taught by various lecturers, with each lecturer covering a topic within their own area of expertise. Staff will also present their own research interests and topics suitable for an MA/MSc dissertation, with the aim of helping students to choose a dissertation topic but also allowing them to engage with a wide range of approaches and topics, aiming for a broad perspective on research methods in linguistics.

Aims: - to help students to plan and undertake research projects in various topics within Linguistics and/or English Language. - to enhance students’ knowledge of how to analyse and present data by using diagrams, charts, graphs, etc., and also to introduce students to basic statistical tests and concepts. - to introduce students to important theoretical research concepts such as the scientific method, hypothesis testing, research questions, etc. - to introduce students to the methodological and ethical issues involved with linguistic research. - to provide practice and knowledge in finding, reading, summarising and critically commenting on research articles, reports and presentations.
