Research Methods

Schilling, Natalie. 2013. Sociolinguistic Fieldwork. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

  • This work published by a leading academic press can be used as a textbook, reference work, or field guide. It is useful for researchers and students in a range of research areas where there may be a need to gather data on language in its social context, for example linguistics, languages, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies. The book is both a ‘how-to’ and a critical exploration of methods and the researcher-participant relationship. Included are vignettes on how ‘students in the field’ confronted an array of research issues.
