28850-01 - Lecture: Research methodology in linguistics (2 CP)

Semester fall semester 2022
Course frequency Every fall sem.
Lecturers Miriam Locher (miriam.locher@unibas.ch, Assessor)
Content In this course on research methodology in (English) linguistics, we will explore different ways of developing research questions, finding relevant data and the appropriate methodology to pursue our research interests. 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.
Bibliography A reader with the lecture slides will be sold on demand (please see the details in the ADAM workspace on how to order the reader) and a pdf will be made available in ADAM. Further reading will be made available in ADAM.
