Directory 1. Fariza Nor, Communication Strategies Message 1: Communication Strategies
Date: 05-Apr-2008 From: Fariza Nor <farizamnhotmail.com> Subject: Communication Strategies E-mail this message to a friend I've 3 questions on this topic. 1. How can I ensure that the communication strategy that I've identified belongs to that particular strategy only? Can I say that it is based on the description of the strategy and the triangulation method that I used? (retrospective interviews (twice), observation of task, the subjects & I watched the recordings of the task & I showed them the transcripts). 2. I see 'echoing' and 'other-repetition' strategies as two different strategies. Any opinion on this? 3. I am not interested in determining the relationship between the communication strategies and the frequency of occurrence, but I still did a frequency count of the strategies to quantify the data. How do I defend this point? Any feedback is most welcomed. Thank you. Linguistic Field(s): Discipline of Linguistics This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000.
