Unlocking the Power of Text: How Linguistic Analysis Can Transform Social Research
The article argues that analyzing texts is important in understanding how language works in different contexts. By looking at the words and connections between texts, we can learn more about how people communicate and the meanings behind their words. The researchers found that using both linguistic analysis (looking at the structure of language) and intertextual analysis (looking at how texts relate to each other) can help us understand discourse better. They suggest that using a theory of language that looks at how language functions can improve our analysis. Overall, the researchers believe that analyzing texts in social research can give us valuable insights into language and communication.
