Description

Critical Sociolinguistic Research Methods is a practical guide to conducting research projects in social science fields. It provides a critical perspective on the role of language in shaping social difference and inequality, and offers a step-by-step approach to designing and implementing research projects.

The book covers five key stages of a research project: formulating research questions, collecting data through fieldwork, analyzing data, writing academic texts, and engaging with different types of social actors. The authors use colour-coded examples from their own experiences to illustrate each stage, making the process more accessible and applicable for students and researchers.

Now in its second edition, this book has been revised to reflect the latest developments in sociolinguistic research methods, including new insights on ethnographic gaze and communication of research results. It is an ideal resource for graduate-level qualitative methods courses in linguistics, anthropology, and related fields.
