Doing critical ethnographic sociolinguistics: Principles, methods and data
The goal of this talk is to introduce students to the main objectives and epistemological principles guiding ethnographic sociolinguistics, as one type of situated qualitative approach to studying language use in multilingual contexts. The talk will focus on the distinctive questions asked by ethnographic sociolinguists, data collection procedures and the types of data employed for analysis. It will also discuss data triangulation as essential to ethnographic analysis. Finally, it will address what it means to be doing critical research, and what critique (does not) entail. Examples from my own fieldwork in different institutional contexts will be provided to illustrate how to do ethnographic research, and what analytical claims can be made on the basis of ethnographic data. In relation to this, the question of the generalisability of the results will be specifically addressed.
