jessiebee Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 So for my EE, I'm comparing the spoken and written/typed language used by teenage Tumblr users. I plan to conduct spoken interviews with people, then analyse their spoken language in comparison with the language they use online.I'm just not sure whether to analyse the language within a literary framework (in terms of literary techniques - like anaphora, idioms etc.) or a linguistic one (through semantics and syntax) - my supervisor said a linguistic framework would be more appropriate to that kind of investigation but didn't know if that would still meet the criteria for an English EE.Soooo, does anyone know whether I'm able to use linguistic theories as the basis of my EE, or will I need to use literary ones? Thanks! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Why not use both approaches? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
