A comprehensive guide to conducting research projects in linguistics, this book provides complete training in modern data collection, processing, and analysis techniques. The book follows the structure of a research project, guiding readers through the steps involved in collecting and processing data, while providing a solid foundation for linguistic analysis. All major research methods are presented by a leading expert. Rather than focusing on narrow disciplines, the text promotes interdisciplinarity, with many chapters focusing on shared methods such as sampling, experimental design, transcription, and argument building. Highly practical, the book offers useful advice on how and where to start, depending on the nature of the research question. The only book to cover the full range of methods used in the field, this student-friendly text is also a useful reference for more experienced researchers and current practitioners.
