Abstract:

This book provides a forum for methodological discussions emanating from
researchers engaged in studying how individuals acquire an additional
language. Whereas publications in the field of second language acquisition
generally report on empirical studies with relatively little space dedicated
to questions of method, the current book gave authors the opportunity to more
fully develop a discussion piece around a methodological issue in connection
with the interpretation of language-learning data. The result is a set of
seven thought-provoking contributions from researchers with diverse interests.
Three main topics are addressed in these chapters: the role of native-speaker
norms in second-language analyses, the impact of epistemological stance on
experimental design and/or data interpretation, and the challenges of
transcription and annotation of language-learning data, with a focus on data
ambiguity. Authors expand on these crucial issues, reflect on best practices,
and provide in many instances concrete examples of the impact they have on
data interpretation.
