Comment/Description

This course builds on the general introduction to English Linguistics from last semester, focusing on conducting empirical research in linguistics. Students will explore various methods, tools, and approaches for obtaining, processing, and analyzing linguistic data. Topics covered include research methodology and design, data collection methods, experimental approaches, corpus linguistics, critical discourse studies, conversation analysis, basic statistics, and transcription.

Coursework and Assessment
Students are expected to read and prepare selected texts for each session. Coursework will involve analyzing real-life linguistic data through hands-on exercises designed to apply selected methods and critically evaluate their effectiveness. Assessment is based on a portfolio comprising data-based tasks ("worksheets") and other assignments completed throughout the semester.
