A guide for students interested in employing experimental methods in their research design to answer sociolinguistic questions about variation.
An accessible, user-friendly guide to the variety of different experimental methods used in sociolinguistics, Experimental Research Methods in Sociolinguistics walks students through the “how-to” of experimental methods used to investigate variation in both speech production and perception. Focusing squarely on practice and application, it takes the reader from defining a research question, to choosing an appropriate framework, to completing a research project. Featuring a companion website with information on experiment-friendly software, sample experiments and suggestions for work to undertake, the book also covers: -Ethical concerns -How to measure production and perception -How to construct and use corpora
An excellent introduction ... Throughout its seven chapters, the author’s voice rings out in a very distinctive and encouraging tone, simultaneously lending great authority to the content of the book and providing encouragement to the reader (in particular the student reader) that experimental approaches to sociolinguistic research are tractable, dynamic, enjoyable, intellectually rewarding, and full of exciting possibilities for future development. * Journal of Sociolinguistics *
