Checklist: Using Naturally Occurring Data

Actions

What is your focus in analysing the data in your research?

To what extent are you aiming at understanding how language and verbal interaction (i.e., conversation) work in organizing a social situation?

To what extent is your focus the discourse about a specific issue and how it is organized in specific interactions?

What role do you see for subjectivity in your research?

(How far) do you want to address meaning beyond what is represented on the level of subjectivity?

How do you take into account in your analysis the sequentiality of a conversation or in the data in general?

How do you link formal aspects (e.g., of a conversation) with the contents which the conversation is about in your analysis?
