data collection in pragmatics research

gabriele kasper

How you collect data depends on what you are studying.

"Depending on the research purpose, it may take an unreasonable amount of data to obtain sufficient quantities of the pragmatic feature under study--for instance, of a particular speech act."

Online: authentic discourse, elicited conversation, role-play, multiple choice, think-aloud protocols

Offline: production questionnaire, multiple choice, scales, interview, diary
