Blog 23: Basic Outline of Presentation

1. State your research question:

What are the features of the discursive rules between members of a family in which there are at least two languages being spoken [Portuguese and English primarily]?

2. Give a brief summary of the research that your project responds to/comments on/is based on

+No research has really focused on this context [family]
+language negotiation is key to writing studies across the board. [education and other social contexts]
+based on anthropological studies on language usage. Raw data. Given the difference in context, previous features defined were not specifically used [may not be appropriate]
+ Because the domestic context is different from a business context, there are new features that arise. However, the features from the business context can still apply.

3. Direct classmates to the section of your work you want feedback on


FOCUS ON CATEGORIES FOR ANALYSIS, BOTH THE ONES FROM THE ARTICLE AND THE ONES I MADE.

4. Give your classmates some indication of what you want help with (e.g. you might ask for help relating the categories you have marked in your transcript to your research question, or for help with the organization /development of a posted draft, and so on).

I've written out quite a bit of information below. What I would like to get feedback on is should I use the categories of analysis from the article and the new categories I would add OR just talk about the categories from the article and focus more on the new categories I have made.

Categories of Analysis
1. Language proficiency of the speaker
2. Language Proficiency of the listener
3. Idiomatic phrases/ puns - leads to humor
4. Rephrasing/ clarity [for listenters]
5. Exclude certain listeners
6. Branch off/ standout/ diverge
