Chapter 3
What the MIPVU protocol doesn’t tell you (even though it mostly does)

Article outline
  • 3.1Introduction
  • Part 1: Practicalities of MIPVU
  • 3.2How do I determine what comprises a lexical unit?
  • 3.3How do I determine a ‘more basic meaning’ of a lexical unit?
    • 3.3.1The ‘it feels basic to me’ pitfall
    • 3.3.2The ‘but there has to be a single basic meaning’ pitfall
    • 3.3.3The ‘no contextual meaning’ pitfall
    • 3.3.4The ‘grammatical category / word class’ pitfall
  • 3.4How do I go about contrasting and comparing meanings?
  • 3.5Which tools should I use to annotate my dataset?
    • 3.5.1Initial independent MIPVU analysis
    • 3.5.2Further comparative MIPVU analysis
    • 3.5.3Statistical analysis of MIPVU results
  • 3.6Reliability testing
  • Part 2: Choosing your approach and your data
  • 3.7Decision 1: Quantitative, qualitative, or both?
