We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.
Date: 24-Apr-2010 From: Ryan Pickard <ryan.pickardadu.ac.ae> Subject: Analyzing National Identity in Discourse E-mail this message to a friend
I am a masters student writing a paper on Identity Construction. I am looking at the construction of National Identity discourse in mainstream media, emerging social media, and in interviews 'on the ground.' I don't have time to "analyse" spoken data but will be applying Systemic Functional Analysis to the newspaper articles and a blog.
Big Question: What theories should I be thinking of applying which allow me to use a method for collecting and interpreting the interview data without needing to record, transcribe and analyse it lexico- gramatically?
