Quantitative Research in Linguistics: An Introduction: Research Methods in Linguistics

Autor Professor Sebastian M. Rasinger
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 feb 2027

Evoluția recentă a lingvisticii indică o tranziție clară către rigoarea empirică, unde analiza cantitativă nu mai este doar un instrument opțional, ci o competență fundamentală pentru cercetarea modernă. În acest context, Quantitative Research in Linguistics de Professor Sebastian M. Rasinger devine o resursă esențială pentru studenții și cercetătorii care navighează între datele calitative și cele numerice. Subliniem faptul că această a doua ediție extinde semnificativ cadrul teoretic, introducând concepte avansate precum ANOVA, MANOVA și o introducere în meta-analiza statistică, elemente care reflectă complexitatea actuală a studiilor de limbaj.

Remarcăm o structură logică și pedagogică, organizată pentru a ghida cititorul de la fundamentele designului de cercetare și eșantionare, către codificarea chestionarelor și, în final, spre analiza datelor „atipice” (dodgy data). Comparabil cu Quantitative Research Methods for Linguists de Tim Grant în rigurozitate, volumul lui Professor Sebastian M. Rasinger se distinge prin actualizarea tehnicilor pentru noile standarde academice și prin accentul pus pe utilizarea practică a instrumentelor digitale. Descoperim aici o abordare aplicată, unde fiecare capitol este susținut de grafice, exemple rezolvate și exerciții care facilitează înțelegerea teoriei statistice fără a intimida novicele.

Un aspect distinctiv al acestei ediții, publicată de Bloomsbury Publishing, este includerea resurselor de pe site-ul acompaniator, care oferă șabloane Excel și fișe de sinteză. Această integrare între suportul tipărit și cel digital transformă lucrarea dintr-un simplu manual într-un ghid de lucru interactiv, esențial pentru proiectele de licență sau cercetarea postuniversitară în lingvistică aplicată.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte se adresează studenților și cercetătorilor din domeniul științelor limbajului care doresc să stăpânească metodele cantitative. Cititorul câștigă o bază solidă în statistica aplicată, învățând cum să transforme date brute în concluzii validate științific. Este un ghid practic care elimină anxietatea față de cifre prin exemple clare și resurse Excel gata de utilizat în propriile proiecte de cercetare.


Descriere

Quantitative Research in Linguistics presents a comprehensive introduction to analysing quantitative linguistic data.
The author examines what the student linguist is trying to find out through analysing data, and how quantitative techniques can help arrive at meaningful and accurate conclusions. Now fully updated and revised, the third edition includes more complex examples in the form of case studies allowing for a more in-depth exploration of the concepts and tools discussed and a glossary of key terms and concepts. A companion website allows readers to download crib sheets and Excel templates for the main statistical tools.
The book focuses on introducing readers to the fundamentals of quantitative research and systematic approaches to data analysis and covers:
- using statistics
- variables
- reliability of data
- describing data
- analysing data
- testing hypotheses
- dealing with problematic data.
Using robust pedagogic scaffolding, the tasks and discussion questions increase in complexity and nuance as each chapter unfolds. Each chapter includes graphs and figures explaining theory through worked examples, chapter summaries, and exercises to aid student understanding, as well as suggestions for further reading to enable students to explore the topics in more depth. An appendix containing a summary of statistical formulae, excel commands and statistical tables is included.
Presenting a down-to-earth and readable introduction to quantitative research, this book is an essential how-to guide for students encountering quantitative data for the first time, or for postgraduates embarking on linguistic research projects.

Recenzii

The second edition of Sebastian M. Rasinger's Quantitative Research in Linguistics: An Introduction is an attractive introductory book to quantitative analytical techniques that can be used in linguistics, and, furthermore, it gently introduces the reader basic principles in statistics. It would be a good choice for a coursebook in general quantitative linguistics and can be used at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Easy to read and a very gentle introduction to the use of spreadsheets in quantitative linguistics, Rasinger's book should be particularly attractive to instructors, students, and other readers who are not necessarily interested in using superior platforms such as R, Python or SPSS software.
Intended for both undergraduate and graduate students, this textbook presents a concise, clear and well-illustrated introduction to the quantitative analysis of language.  It is comprehensive and example-based, and it covers the basics of quantitative analysis of linguistic data and explores how this differs from qualitative approaches.  At the same time, the book is also practical, helping the reader understand how to conceptualize, construct, and implement a quantitative investigation in linguistics.
Rasinger's new book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to quantitative research methods in linguistics. Aimed at an advanced undergraduate and early postgraduate audience, the book addresses a longstanding need in the field for a textbook specifically geared toward students who may have already developed a nuanced understanding of language and linguistics but who have had little to no exposure to statistical methods. As such, the book stands to make an important contribution to the teaching of linguistics, whether as a classroom resource for teachers or as a guide to individual students as they undertake their own research projects.
Presenting a down-to-earth and readable introduction to quantitative research, this book is a useful how-to guide for students encountering quantitative data for the first time, or for postgraduates embarking on linguistic research projects.
For the maths-shy linguistics student with no statistics training, this long-needed, reader-friendly book demystifies what quantitative research is and how it's done. Assuming no prior knowledge, students are introduced to various research methods and shown the steps to designing, analysing and interpreting data. Statistical analyses are brilliantly explained and illustrated with examples from published research with which students will already be familiar.
Reviewed in Times Higher Education Supplement, 28 May 2009
Rasinger's book remains a comprehensive and accessible introduction to quantitative research methods in linguistics. Rasinger covers all the bases, including everything from research design through to implementation and analysis, and makes good use of examples drawn from real linguistics research to illustrate important concepts. The inclusion of new sections on ANOVAs and MANOVAs, the addition of brief introductions to doing statistics in SPSS and R, and the updated suggestions for further reading all make the revised edition the ideal choice for students who wish to learn the basics of quantitative linguistics.
Highly relevant publication for languages and linguistics students who normally prefer qualitative research methods and are apprehensive about application or use of quantitative methods.
