Researching Language : Issues of Power and Method PDF
by Deborah (Oxford University, UK) Cameron, Elizabeth Frazer, Penelope Harvey, M. B. H. (King’s College, London, UK) Rampton, Kay Richardson
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Sociolinguistics series
Description
Originally published in 1992. This book discusses the possibilities of developing the research process in social science so that it benefits the subjects as well as the researcher.
The authors distinguish between ‘ethical’, ‘advocate’ and ‘empowering’ approaches to the relationship between researcher and researched, linking these to different ideas about the nature of knowledge, action, language, and social relations.
They then use a series of empirical case studies to explore the possibilities for ‘empowering research’.
The book is the product of dialogue between researchers from a range of disciplines (anthropology, cultural studies, sociology and linguistics) and is for those working across the social sciences.
Through combination of philosophical discussion, methodological recommendation and case-study illustration, it provides guidance that is practical without being simplistic.
