Linguistic analysis is,
specifically an analysis that employs constructs from the field of linguistics that are designed to
study language as a primary focus of inquiry. Linguistic analysis of collaboration is a research area with stakeholders from multiple fields,
including learning sciences, organizational behavior, sociolinguistics and other areas of
linguistics, language technologies and machine learning, social psychology, and sociology. Each
field brings with it its own valuable store of wisdom as well as its own sets of research questions
and methodologies that bring out different subsets of facets.
Content analysis is a research tool used to determine the presence of certain words or concepts within
texts or sets of texts. Researchers quantify and analyze the presence, meanings and relationships of such
words and concepts, then make inferences about the messages within the texts, the writer(s), the
audience, and even the culture and time of which these are a part. Texts can be defined broadly as
books, book chapters, essays, interviews, discussions, newspaper headlines and articles, historical
documents, speeches, conversations, advertising, theater, informal conversation, or really any
occurrence of communicative language.
Texts in a single study may also represent a variety of different
types of occurrences, such as Palmquist's 1990 study of two composition classes, in which he analyzed
student and teacher interviews, writing journals, classroom discussions and lectures, and out-of-class
interaction sheets. To conduct a content analysis on any such text, the text is coded, or broken down,
into manageable categories on a variety of levels--word, word sense, phrase, sentence, or theme--and
then examined using one of content analysis' basic methods: conceptual analysis or relational analysis.
Feminist ethnography is a research methodology, a theory about how research should
proceed. Its principal method is observational research conducted over time and
motivated by a commitment to women. Social scientists use feminist ethnography to
uncover how gender operates within different societies.
Feminist ethnographic research originates
principally from the contributions of the women's movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
In anthropology, feminist ethnography operates both as a new area of research and
as a critique of the discipline's tendency to exclude women from field analyses or to
present them in reductive ways. Feminist ethnography is part of the larger challenge
that feminism posed to positivist social research, in which researchers approach the
setting logically, objectively, and with predetermined criteria for measurement. Feminists
instead tended to advocate analyses that were detailed, flexible, and subjective,
arguing that they would be more conducive to representing women's experiences in a
patriarchal society
In its earlier days, feminist ethnography was chiefly concerned with women. Like other
feminist research, feminist ethnography was about, by, and for women. It involved
giving voice to marginalized women whose experiences had rarely been represented
or understood. In this way, feminist academic ethnographers saw themselves as giving
a voice to the voiceless. The critical focus on gender that most feminist ethnographers
took involved questioning com-monsense assumptions about men and women,
masculinity and femininity.
The results of the research prove that the application of the narrative semiotic approach helps to develop the skills to understand and to analyze narrative texts.
Cognitive-discursive paradigm is presented as result of new approach to reading. The new approach is stated, that reading not only acquaints the reader with outside world, but also forms spiritual world of person, his intellect. As to the author, elementary reading skills are inherent to any literate person, but they are only the basis for complex creative process of working with the book, as only technical reading skills alone are not enough to make full use of information, containing in printed or electronic work. Conclusion is made, that conscious attitude to reading makes it possible to freely navigate in the world of professions while choosing life path.
