Learning How to Ask

A Sociolinguistic Appraisal of the Role of the Interview in Social Science Research

1986 || Paperback || Charles L. Briggs || Cambridge University Press

Interviews are ubiquitous in modern society, and they play a crucial role in social scientific research. But, as Charles Briggs convincingly argues in this book, received interviewing techniques rest on fundamental misapprehensions about the nature both of the interview as a communicative event, and of the nature of the data that it produces. Furthermore, interviewers rarely examine the compatibility of interviews as a means of acquiring information to one another.

These oversights often blin...

Becoming a Reader

The Experience of Fiction from Childhood to Adulthood

1994 || Paperback || J. A. Appleyard || Cambridge University Press

Becoming a Reader argues that, whatever our individual differences of personality and background, there is a regular sequence of attitudes we go through as we mature, which affect how we experience fiction, from the five-year-old child absorbed in the world of fantasy play, through the seventeen year old critical seeker of the truth, to the middle-aged reader recognizing their own experiences in fictional characters. Becoming a Reader argues that this sequence of responses can be worked out a...

Language Planning and Social Change

1990 || Paperback || Robert L. Cooper || Cambridge University Press

This book describes the ways in which politicians, church leaders, generals, leaders of national movements and others try to influence our use of language. Professor Cooper argues that language planning is never attempted for its own sake. Rather it is carried out for the attainment of nonlinguistic ends such as national integration, political control, economic development, the pacification of minority groups, and mass mobilization.

Many examples are discussed, including the revival of Hebrew...
