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.

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.
