We will discuss texts on methodology but will also practice how to critically evaluate existing research papers. During the lecture there will be time for groupwork and exercises.
Learning objectives At the end of this course, students should have become aware of different research methodologies and their implications in linguistics. They should be more confident in critically assessing other people’s research and developing their own projects.
