Naturalistic data in L2 pragmatics research
Challenges and opportunities
Rachel Shively | Illinois State University
This chapter considers the topic of naturalistic data in L2 pragmatics research, discussing what ‘natural’ means, outlining different means of gathering natural data, and highlighting both the advantages and the challenges of working with data in natural settings. That discussion is followed by suggestions for collecting and analyzing naturalistic data based on the author’s experiences using a longitudinal corpus of naturalistic social interactions for the purpose of studying L2 pragmatics. More specifically, issues of comparability, ethics, recording type, triangulation of data, and targeted pragmatic features are addressed.
Keywords: second language pragmatics, naturalistic data, longitudinal data, research methods
