– The social context determines the form of the language
– The language used determines the nature of a social event

Methodological Issues
• The object of investigation
– Credible object,
– regular feature,
– that it is possible to investigate,
– that it can be described systematically
• Data- methodological issues
– Qualitative vs. quantitative data
– Covert vs. overt collection (observer’s paradox)
– Sampling methods – representative samples
• Social variable – linguistic variable
