Language in qualitative research
7 important questions on Language in qualitative research
What are two approaches of fine-grained approached for analysing language in business research?
Discource analysis
What is conversation analysis?
•Conversation analysis (CA) is the fine-grained analysis of talk as it occurs in interaction in naturally occurring situations.
• The talk is usually recorded and transcribed so that detailed analyses can be carried out.
• These analyses are concerned with the underlying structures of talk in interaction and as such with the achievement of order through interaction.
What are the elements of conversation analysis?
conversation as the basic form through which social order is achieved
indexicality - the meaning of words is contextually grounded
reflexivity - talk is constitutive of the social context in which it occurs
For CA practitioners:
context refers to the specific here-and-now context of immediately preceding talk
For most qualitative researchers:
context has wider set of resonances, i.e. action is understood in terms of the values, beliefs, and typical modes of behaviour of a group
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is discourse analysis?
What are two distinctive features at level of epistomology and ontology of DA?
- It is anti-realist: it denies that there is an external reality awaiting a definitive portrayal by the researcher
- It is constructionist
What are tools for framing rhetorical devices?
List - usually composed of three parts - the minimum to show there is a group of items
Headline-Punchline/Puzzle-Solution - creating the opportunity to present a punchline or solution by first presenting a headline or puzzle
Position taking - giving a fairly neutral description of a state of affairs and then strongly agreeing or disagreeing with it
Pursuit, repetition, alliteration - actively pursuing audience reactions by repeating or otherwise stressing
What are the differences between DA & CA?
DA permits the intrusion of understandings of what is going on that are not specific to the immediacy of previous utterances. It is precisely this to which CA objects.
For DA, phenomena like interpretative repertoires are very much part of the context within which talk occurs, whereas in CA they are inadmissible evidence.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
