The course is meant to provide the basis for doing empirical research in linguistics. It will be devoted to juxtaposing the qualitative and quantitative approaches to language-related research with a focus on social context phenomena. Practical aims:
- to develop the ability to design data collection procedures for qualitative analysis
- to develop the ability to present a project and critically evaluate own and others’ views in a debate
- to develop the ability to critically evaluate the quantitative/qualitative analysis selected as adequate to the research questions posed.

Great research is not conducted in a vacuum. Scientists and the general public often speak different languages, but communicating research results is a vital step of the scientific discovery process. How else will research be translated into innovation and invention? During this course we will cover the basics of scientific PR. This includes learning to read scientific papers, understand their importance and communicate it to the general public. From a thank-you letter to study participants to a press release for a major news outlet, dissemination of results is quickly becoming one of the more important steps in the scientific process.

This is the Moodle area for the Practical Linguistic Fieldwork B course.
