Читать книгу Bilingual Couples in Conversation - Silja Ang-Tschachtli - Страница 30

In this chapter, I present background information about the interviewees and discuss the process of data collection and analysis. I begin with an overview of the interviewees and give a short biography of each couple. Following this, I discuss some limitations that come with my sample of participants. I then comment on the process of conducting interviews, as well as on the questionnaire that formed the basis of the interviews. As I decided to make precise transcriptions of the interviews, including a number of suprasegmental features, I describe the most important aspects of the transcription conventions. Moreover, I discuss the transcription process and the difficultiesdifficultieschallenges I encountered. Finally, I also comment on my method of analysis before moving on to the analysis itself in the next chapter.
