The book presents qualitative approaches to research but focuses mostly on quantitative methods, detailing the workings of basic statistics. 330 $aHere is a much needed introductory textbook on empirical research methods for the Humanities. Especially aimed at students and scholars of Literature, Applied Linguistics, and Film and Media, it stimulates readers to reflect on the problems and possibilities of testing the empirical assumptions and offers hands-on learning opportunities to develop empirical studies. It explains a wide range of methods, from interviews to observation research, and guides readers through the choices researchers have to make. It discusses the essence of experiments, illustrates how studies are designed, how to de 410 0$aLinguistic approaches to literature ;$v13. 606 $aScience and the humanities 606 $aInterdisciplinary approach to knowledge 606 $aHumanities$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScience and the humanities. 615 0$aInterdisciplinary approach to knowledge. 615 0$aHumanities$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 676 $a001.3 700 $aPeer$b Willie van$0708472 701 $aIncludes bibliographical references and indexes$01067553 702 $aZyngier$b Sonia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452290903321 996 $aScientific methods for the humanities$92551434 997 $aUNINA
