Methodology-
Hypothesis- Danni uses more deficit features than
Lockie whilst in conversation
Data resource- TV programme – The Only Way is Essex.
People: Danielle Armstrong and James Lock. Known names: Danni and Lockie
Reliability- I am going to look at the series where Danni and Lockie started off as a couple together. I am
then going to look at 5 of their conversations. I may look at more of their
conversations if they are short. I am going to watch the first episode and find
the first 5 conversations they have, which will most likely mean I will be
looking at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th episode as well,
depending on how many conversations they have in each episode. I am choosing
the first 5 conversations they have because I need it to be a reliable piece of
data. I am not going to pick and choose at random, the different conversations
otherwise it is not scientific. I am choosing 5 conversations because I will
have more data to analyse, they may have an off conversation which does not represent
their usual selves so I need to have a range.
Comparability- The one factor in which will be different
is the Gender of the two people. There are many comparability factors which mean
that gender is the main reason for the different language they are using. The
two people that I am studying for my data are both from Essex and still
currently live there. This means that they will have similar accents and also
dialect as they have been brought up within the same city. They are both of
similar ages, Lockie is 29, and Danni is 28. They have similar life styles as
they both own their own businesses; Danni owns a clothes shop called ‘Danni
Boutique’ and Lockie has his own restaurant called ‘Lockie’s Kitchen’. They
both have similar interests such as going clubbing, getting spray tans and
going to the gym.
Ethicality- I am using a TV programme for my data.
This means I will not need any permission as it is a show that is for public
viewing.
Good range of considerations. Will you only do conversations where they are speaking to each other or with more partcipants? Did you think about doing some quantified data for comparison of them speaking with others? That could come later and only if it is helpful. Say whose theory your hypothesis relates to. This looks ready to go.
