Data Analysis Strategies

General Dialogic Strategy for Text Analysis

  • A   Consider: 

    • 1   the bounding of the text;

    • 2   the referent/interpretent:

      •  what the text is an instance of;

      • emerging analytic framework.

  •  B   Look for: 

    • 3   oppositions and associations:

      • cotextual/intertextual;

      • contrasting two texts is helpful.

    • 4   trajectories.

  • C   Develop:

    • 5   coherence & explicitness in the analytic apparatus:

      • specialise the esoteric domain.

    • 6   coherence & exhaustion in the reading of the object text:

      • localise the public domain.

    • 7   explicitness in the articulation of the esoteric and public domains:

      • validity and generalisation.
