LV-Beschreibung
Intendierte Lernergebnisse
Upon completing this proseminar, students will be familiar with a variety of (multimodal) data sets and (qualitative) methodologies to analyze them in relation to different (current) research questions in linguistics. Students will be able to differentiate between quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches. Students will be introduced to the following methodologies: Conversation Analysis/Gesprächsanalyse, Multimodal Social Semiotics, Critical Discursive Psychology.
This is a “hands-on” proseminar: So, in groups, students will carry out their own small projects. They will choose a research question before collecting, processing, and analyzing appropriate data to answer it. They will present preliminary findings in data sessions and conduct more in-depth (individual) analyses in short research papers.
With the help of different linguistic methodologies, students may explore:
- How topics, emotions, and relations evolve in (professional) interactions
- What ideologies about gender, race, ecology, science etc. are discursively constructed.
- How (gender, athletic, youth, sexual, etc.) identities are (co-)constructed in a moment-by-moment basis in conversations or in various forms of discourse.
- How modes (such as text, image, emoji etc.) interact and create meaning on social media.
- How gender, sexuality, age, ethnicity etc. is represented in text or discourse.

Inhalt/e
This proseminar is intended as an introduction to working with (multimodal) text and discourse as data from an applied linguistic perspective. Students will familiarize themselves with a variety of data types and (qualitative) methodologies by means of presenting and discussing their projects in data sessions (group presentations). Students will be invited (but are not required) to bring their own data following their interests (e.g., from social media, online platforms, newspapers, literature). Data may include (but is not restricted to):
- Spoken text from both mundane and professional contexts: recorded conversations between friends, publicly available videos, interviews, and/or transcripts of helping conversations (such as coaching or psychotherapy)
- Written text, in the form of e.g., newspaper articles and essays
- Multimodal data, such as Instagram, Facebook, or Snapchat posts, but also textbooks or children’s books
Students will learn to collect, process, analyze, and interpret data following various methodologies (Critical Discursive Psychology, Conversation Analysis, Multimodal Social Semiotics) in accordance with their research goals. This will allow them to present empirical findings – i.e., linguistic (co-)construction of e.g., power and inequalities, gender representation, and expert-lay identities – first in a data session and in a short research report.
